As you all have probably heard by now the Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most exciting trends in the tech industry. By 2030, IoT is projected to explode into a technical industry that will be around $14 trillion that’s almost the size of the China’s current economy. Simultaneously, artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the world by storm and creating technical solutions we never thought possible. By combining AI and IoT using the cloud and Edge capabilities, we can build something that can only be described as the intersection of awesome. In this session, we will explore and join AI cloud-native deep learning technologies and IoT cloud enabled devices by walking through and building an IoT solution with AI superpowers. Join for a demo session exploring the awesomeness of IoT and AI.
