• Kai-Fu Lee's brutal assessment: America is already losing the AI hardware war to China

    China is on track to dominate consumer artificial intelligence applications and robotics manufacturing within years, but the United States will maintain its substantial lead in enterprise AI adoption and cutting-edge research, according to Kai-Fu Lee, one of the world's most prominent AI scientists and investors.In a rare, unvarnished assessment delivered via video link from Beijing to the TED AI conference in San Francisco Tuesday, Lee — a former executive at Apple, Microsoft, and Google

    Simplifying the AI stack: The key to scalable, portable intelligence from cloud to edge
    Presented by ArmA simpler software stack is the key to portable, scalable AI across cloud and edge. AI is now powering real-world applications, yet fragmented software stacks are holding it back. Developers routinely rebuild the same models for different hardware targets, losing time to glue code instead of shipping features. The good news is that a shift is underway. Unified toolchains and optimized libraries are making it possible to deploy models across platforms without compromising performa
