Building AI Into Systems That Can't Afford to Be Late - with Drew Barbier of MIPS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For AI systems built into vehicles, robots, and industrial equipment, being smart isn't enough — the difference between success and failure often comes down to whether real-time performance was designed in from the start or added on afterward.
