Distributed Autonomous AI at the Edge | Rich Simoncic Keynote
Edge AI https://www.microchip.com/en-us/solut... What if the future of artificial intelligence isn’t centralized—but distributed, adaptive, and alive at the edge? At Embedded World, Rich Simoncic (COO of Microchip Technology) explores a powerful idea: learning from the octopus—nature’s blueprint for distributed intelligence. With over two-thirds of its neurons spread across its arms, an octopus doesn’t rely on a single brain to make decisions. Instead, it senses, decides, and acts locally—while still working toward a unified goal. This keynote draws a striking parallel to the evolution of e…
