Internet of Things and Embedded System Development in the Artificial Intelligence Era

— The 23rd ESBF Forum to be Held on May 26th, in Shenzhen, China

Ever since Google AlphaGo popularized the idea of Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI has been a hot topic. In the foreseeable future, AI will undoubtedly enter various aspects of our life and become our friend and ally.

Three inseparable factors contribute to the second rise of AI: algorithm, data and computing power. AI has strict requirements on processing capacity and real-time ability. Part of the answer lie in edge computing, the area of Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded system.

How do we prepare for the impending storm of AI? With AI expanding in its application, what are the specific market where IoT and embedded system are relevant? How should embedded system researchers and engineers seize the opportunity?

The next Embedded System Beijing Forum (ESBF) seminar will host an academic discussion and an entrepreneur forum, inviting well-known scholars, industrial experts and engineering leaders to discuss embedded system/IoT issues around AI R&D.

The new event will not only provide a platform for collaboration and discussion among the new generation of engineers, but also an opportunity to educate. We will set aside dedicated time for Q&A.

Embedded System Beijing Forum is a technology salon promoting information exchange and communication within embedded industry and academia, with broad audience including scholars, engineers/tech ops, marketing personnel and technical writers/reporters.

ESBF is a non-profit technology salon. Registration is required to attend our free events.
