As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies becomes more apparent throughout the world, taking over increasingly more complex tasks, AI chipsets will take over large-scale data processing. They will perform all the necessary computations and store their models on the device, such as a phone or tablet. AI chips will be the key player in transitioning AI technologies from the cloud to the actual device, and they can create an entire new realm of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Consumer devices such as smartphones, tablets, wearables, and smart speakers rely on AI chips, along with enterprise market devices like robots, sensors, and cameras.
