Revolutionizing Embedded Systems with AI: A Discussion on the Latest Developments
Jacob Beningo - Pete Warden - Sree Harsha Angara - Watch Now - EOC 2023 - Duration: 01:03:39
In this panel, we will discuss how AI can enhance the design and implementation of embedded systems. Through this discussion, attendees will gain insights into the latest trends and developments in AI, as well as the challenges and opportunities for implementing AI in embedded systems and to assist in developing embedded systems.
The panelists will share their experiences, research findings, and best practices, providing valuable insights for professionals, academics, and researchers alike. Overall, this panel promises to be a thought-provoking and informative discussion on the cutting-edge developments in the intersection of AI and embedded systems.
12:13:39 From Jim Norton : How cool would it be if some AI model, think GPT-4, could read through all of your project's datasheets and could put together a framework for a project and even write some device drivers for the developer! 12:14:56 From Nathan O. : Répondre à "How cool would it ..." Finally we'd get what silicon vendor are supposed to provide us: drivers, proper example code and easy integration 12:15:03 From BobF : More clarity between the separate domains (use cases) requires some attention AI - ML - DL. Some thoughts amongst the panelists? n.b. AI is getting a lot of bad press which will impact upon the other domains which I think are less threatening .... I may be wrong here! 12:15:41 From Michael Lazarenko : Replying to "How cool would it be..." Check embedd.it - that is exactly what we are working on! 12:15:59 From Jim Norton : Reacted to "Check embedd.it - th..." with 👍 12:16:20 From Gonzalo : Replying to "How cool would it be..." It is very interesting and helpful, but what about industrial secrets, NDA, licencing exposing developers and company data? 12:17:00 From Nathan O. : A réagi à "Check embedd.it - ..." avec 😮 12:20:08 From Jim Norton : Replying to "How cool would it be..." @Nathan O. I think CMSIS has gone a long way to meeting those goals. 12:21:30 From Jim Norton : Replying to "How cool would it be..." Assuming ARM development... 12:21:55 From Nathan O. : Répondre à "How cool would it ..." @Jim For RTOS and Core stuff yes. For actual peripheral I very rarely see drivers using the CMSIS API and personally I haven't used it much. 12:22:56 From Maxim Gorinov : Reacted to "@Jim For RTOS and Co..." with 👍 12:23:46 From Vishwa Perera : AI applications will definitely bring much ease to the programmer and product development. However, just to play devil's advocate what would be the negative impacts that AI applications bring to the embedded world? 12:27:11 From Steve Wheeler : I recently read an article (aimed at artists, mainly) that said that the terms of use for ChatGPT and other AI tools required you to indemnify them against legal action based on what you generated with them. Doesn’t this imply that any time saved in generating systems will need to be made up by more comprehensive study and testing of the generated code? 12:33:02 From Jacob Beningo : Reacted to "Finally we'd get wha..." with 👍 12:34:03 From Jim Norton : Replying to "How cool would it be..." @Nathan O. NXP provides SDK's that actually use CMSIS for peripheral drivers such as ethernet, i2c, spi and uart. 12:36:52 From aniket : Replying to "How cool would it be..." @Michael Lazarenko, Does your solution address ambiguity in data sheets? Some chip vendors have datasheets that are really poor - maybe even misleading 12:37:30 From Jack Albrecht : @Michael Lazarenko, Does your solution address ambiguity in data sheets? Some chip vendors have datasheets that are really poor - maybe even misleading Furthermore, datasheets in different languages. 12:38:00 From Jim Norton : Reacted to "@Michael Lazarenko, ..." with 👏 12:40:35 From Kevin H : Philosophical question for the panel: Do you think society's increasing dependence on AI will adversely affect human intellect, curiosity, motivation, etc. over the long term? 12:45:04 From Gonzalo : Andre comments made me think that AI will have to be treated similarly to people (little scary) because what is fed with, what can share and answer will have to be under policies as we are working in companies. Above all two group will still existe: communities that share data and communities or companies that do not 12:46:11 From Jim Norton : How about AI generating "unit tests" to validate the accuracy of datasheets. 12:49:01 From Gonzalo : Replying to "Philosophical questi..." I think it will affect as global connectiona and social media is already doing it. Big issues that needs to be faced sooner tan latter 12:49:44 From Steve Wheeler : I think there’s a misapprehension of my question. The article stated that if anyone sued based on the generated item, the terms required you to cover the AI company’s legal costs. 12:50:55 From Maxim Gorinov : Replying to "How cool would it be..." To address this we have an Intermediate representation which is a structured extraction of the info relevant to driver development which user can adjust, edit or correct prior to driver generation. 12:53:24 From Sree Harsha Angara : Replying to "I think there’s a mi..." Wow I would be very surprised if that actually finds any legal legs. 12:57:13 From Jim Norton : As far as becoming lazy because AI can do more for us, maybe what will happen is will be freed up to thinking about/work on bigger picture issues. So perhaps we don't get lazy, but we just invent/think about things we didn't time for in the past. 12:57:18 From Gonzalo : I agree with Pete. I guess non-specialist person will be able to some things on embedded projects what could be good, but whenever real detailed issues appears and non-specialist could not face that the complexity will be revealed maybe too late in schedule for the developer team 13:00:41 From BobF : An answer for everything (ie. ChatGPT et al) ... doubtful !? 13:02:42 From Jim Norton : I question whether GPT is "intelligent". 13:02:59 From Jacob Beningo : Replying to "I question whether G..." I would say no, but that’s me 13:03:14 From Jim Norton : Reacted to "I would say no, but ..." with 👍 13:03:21 From Michael Lazarenko : Reacted to "I would say no, but ..." with 👍 13:04:02 From Sree Harsha Angara : Replying to "I question whether G..." This is a great primer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbIk7-JPB2c 13:05:12 From Gonzalo : It was a good discussion, thanks to all!
This was a fantastic round table discussion on a modern and very visible topic right now. Thank you to the expert presenters. And thank you to Jacob for realizing the need to have these kinds of discussions.
