ARM has unveiled two new Cortex chips, designed for AI-based applications at the network-edge, and the first chips based on its new DynamIQ architecture. Fitting into the fog-computing and edge-analytics trend, the chips open up options for developers looking to move compute cycles from the cloud to the network edge – a tricky balancing act, when it comes to bandwidth and batteries. While AI is still the hottest technology buzzword, there are applications that are embracing the machine-learning, computer vision, and natural language improvements that have been enabled by modeling computer systems in the fashion of human brains. While we are still a long way from HAL or other science fiction AIs like the Culture’s Minds, the AI-based cloud software…
