Webinar Details
Developing a system that deploys Edge-based AI is the goal for most developers (as opposed to Cloud-based AI), for a host of reasons. It removes latencies associated with sending data off-prem; it increases security because your data always remains on-prem; and it lets you control the complete design and implementation/deployment of the platform. Our experts in this session will show you how to do that and more.
