Ready to upskill? Look to the edge (where it's not all about AI)
While everyone's worrying about AI design and development, edge and IoT computing may be reshaping or creating even more technology opportunities.

When driving a vehicle, milliseconds matter. Autonomous vehicles are no different, even though it may be your AI that drives them. AI = data + compute, and you want your compute to be as close to your data as possible. Enter edge computing.
The first release of its computer vision play, the surveillance appliance is the beginning of Dell Technologies' push for an open approach to IoT and edge computing.
Until now, edge computing was promising but still developing. In 2021, new business models will emerge that facilitate the deployment of edge in production. Cloud platforms will compete while artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G will drive the rapid expansion of edge use cases.
The new orchestration product is designed to address the physical and power constraints of the network edge.
What if machine learning applications on the edge were possible, pushing the limits of size and energy efficiency? GreenWaves is doing this, based on an open-source parallel ultra low power microprocessor architecture. Though it's early days, implications for IoT architecture and energy efficiency could be dramatic.
The OpenVINO toolkit should make it easy for developers to deploy AI models across a broad range of IoT devices.
Being able to deploy machine learning applications at the edge bears the promise of unlocking a multi-billion dollar market. For that to happen, hardware and software must work in tandem. Arm's partner ecosystem exemplifies this, with hardware and software vendors like Alif and Neuton working together.
