Keynote
Sensors and Systems in an AI first world
It seems that everything today is an AI first device, but what does this mean? In this talk I will discuss some of the ways that AI is impacting how Google thinks about our hardware devices and the components within. I will talk through some of the growing systems level considerations for number of sensors, quality and precision of measurements as well as how compute is distributed to handle the various AI models that exist. The goal will be to give the audience an overview of what exists today as well as some possibilities of how they can help shape devices of tomorrow.
