AES Audio Product Education Institute Webinar Discusses Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT)

August 13 2021, 01:10
The AES Audio Product Education Institute promotes a new webinar on its Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) education pillar, exploring the practical approach for AI & ML integration in audio product design and development. For this August 18 event, pillar chair Steven Willenborg invited XMOS, a company focused on embedded intelligence for edge-AI applications, now powering the artificial intelligence of things (AIoT), bringing AI, DSP, control and I/O together in a single device.
 

The Audio Product Education Institute (APEI) continues to explore the practical approach and development for smart audio product designs in multiple market segments. This AI and ML series of webinars intends to provide an introduction to the product development process, and explore the tools and technologies for designing and integrating AI & ML into products.

For this session, pillar chair Steven Willenborg (Linkplay Technology), invited XMOS, a leading provider of audio and digital signal processing platforms powering numerous consumer and professional audio solutions. The company's vision fully shifted towards offering edge-AI solutions for low-cost embedded systems. Voice is the most significant AI application in the market, and in 2019, XMOS introduced the highest performing far-field 2-mic voice-interface for just under a dollar. With its xcore.ai processors, XMOS is now powering the artificial intelligence of things (AIoT), which the company believes helps solve security, connectivity and scalability challenges.

The AIoT is in its nascent stages — but, according to Gartner, the market for it has huge potential, promising to be worth $3 trillion by 2025. This APEI webinar will explore the opportunities, examine potential applications, discuss the market and technical barriers, and introduce technical solutions that could be used to realize the vision of the AIoT within the audio space. 

In this presentation, Aneet Chopra, Vice President of Product Marketing and Business Development at XMOS, explores deeper on how AI and voice is trending and what solutions on the edge would break the “intelligence on edge” barrier vs traditional approaches of cloud based solutions. The online session will showcase how XMOS is looking to provide voice solutions to address some of those challenges.

Aneet Chopra is responsible for paving the short and long term  technology roadmap for XMOS in this space. He also leads driving partnerships and discovering new usage models for emerging technologies. Prior to joining XMOS, Aneet worked at Intel for 15+ years including engineering and operation with his last role as GM Compute vision for AR/VR at Intel. Aneet has 20+ years of industry and global work experience, with last 10+ years dedicated to building cognitive computing platforms including Speech, Depth, compute vision and Audio. He is passionate about innovation and building products as well as mentoring startups in Silicon Valley and Asia.
