According to Gartner, by 2023, one-third of companies that have implemented IoT will also have implemented AI in conjunction with at least one IoT project. Data generated from IoT devices will be integrated in various vertical applications and eventually be applied to smart factories, smart healthcare, smart transportation, and smart cities. The first two sessions of COMPUTEX Forum organized by TAITRA, “AIoT Evolution” and “AI Empowerment,” were held on June 2. Top speakers from Micron Technology, Intel, Supermicro, NVIDIA, NXP Semiconductors, Arm, Delta Electronics, and Check Point Software were among the lineup to deep dive into the infinite possibilities of AIoT and AI.
