AI Weekly: Get ready for AI chips everywhere
…This has been a big week for specialized chips aimed at performing machine learning tasks. Google announced the open beta of its second generation Tensor Processing Unit, Amazon is reportedly working on a dedicated AI chip for its Echo smart speaker, and ARM announced its own AI hardware. It’s easy to see why that’s happening: The math needed to run machine learning algorithms is incredibly computationally intense. Chips optimized for the task do that faster and more efficientl… 2018-02-16 00:00:00 https://venturebeat.com/2018/02/16/get-ready-for-ai-chips-everywhere/ CloudQuant Thoughts : Trading firms were fast to adopt FPGAs to allow them to make decisions at the packet level. It is only a matter of time before we have AI making decisions at the same level. See Trevor Trinkino’s webinar with FXCM to see how you can use ML in CloudQuant.
The future is all about AI devices that can actually serve us
…The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) devices in augmenting humans and in achieving tasks that were previously considered unachievable is just amazing. With the world progressing towards an age of unlimited innovations and unhindered progress, we can expect that AI will have a greater role in actually serving us for the better. Since I have been associated with this wave of change towards AI-driven technologies and modules, I h… 2018-02-16 11:00:23+00:00 http://bigdata-madesimple.com/the-future-is-all-about-ai-devices-that-can-actually-serve-us/ CloudQuant Thoughts : The difference between early automotive voice recognition (which is only four years old) and the voice recognition in our phones today is night and day and this is all thanks to AI. Tesla continues to gather data in the real world to improve their AutoPilot in real time. Our cars can stop themselves or steer back into lane. AI will nibble away at those minor problems each of us have. Why not let it nibble away at your trading problems? Test out your Algo ideas at app.cloudquant.com!
