What's Next in AI? | tinyML Foundation's Pete Bernard & Evgeni Gousev | The IoT Podcast

In this special episode of The IoT Podcast we're joined by tinyML Foundations Executive Director - Pete Bernard & Chairman - Evgeni Gousev to talk all things tinyML and AI. We explore the bigger story of AI, where we’re moving (smarter, smaller, more efficient) and how tinyML is pushing opportunities forward. As we’ve moved through 2024, the evolving nature of AI has been a major theme on the podcast, alongside key innovations in generative AI, edge computing, and emerging tools. The tinyML Foundation is a pivotal community, playing a crucial role in advancing low-power AI at the edge, driving the growth of “AI on Things” and promoting “AI for Good.” This is especially important as we navigate the increasingly complex ethical and legislative challenges surrounding AI.
