Microchips less than a cent in size can already house machine learning systems, marking a revolutionary step toward the widespread integration of AI into everyday products. Leading this revolutionary movement is the artificial intelligence startup Aizip, which plans to embed smart capabilities into household appliances as diverse as sneakers and microwaves.
Your shoes will eventually be able to detect when you put on a few extra pounds during the holidays and will modify the cushioning appropriately. In a future when artificial intelligence (AI) effortlessly improves our relationships with the things around us, workers’ safety helmets will detect exhaustion and advise them to take timely breaks, as described by Yubei Chen, co-founder of Aizip. “We can infuse AI into microwaves for natural language interaction.”
Aizip has just revealed a ground-breaking method that allows for the incorporation of tiny, tailored AI systems into a wide range of goods, including as apparel, home appliances, and industrial machinery. These smaller AI tools can be effortlessly integrated into the fabric of the items using the technology, unlike their larger equivalents that require substantial processing power and enormous data centers.
“We’re bringing intelligence into daily life, making life safer, more intelligent,” commented Yan Sun, CEO of Aizip. “We believe the small models can really benefit society.”
The list of possible uses is long and varied, including smart fridges that can detect food’s nutritional value, ovens that can adjust their cooking settings depending on the type of food, and coffee makers that can use facial recognition to personalize customers’ orders. The human activity tracker that is a part of Aizip’s miniature AI system uses AI to gather and analyze motion data. The chip that houses this system is smaller than a dime.
Aizip has installed eight distinct AI models on these little devices, spanning vision, audio, and time series; this is fundamental to the idea of pervasive AI, according to which almost any item can acquire intelligence. Several hundred various models are in the company’s repertoire.
With their artificial intelligence systems that cost just a few cents to make, Aizip hopes to see them used everywhere in the future. The company’s goal is to make these revolutionary AI models more accessible to more people by increasing productivity, decreasing the need for human intervention, and lowering costs.
We are on the verge of a new age where commonplace objects become smart, making our society smarter, safer, and more connected, thanks to Aizip’s relentless pursuit of AI integration..
