ClearSky | Building the Next Generation of Ai Assistants through Privacy by Design
Hugo Flayac, Founder of ClearSky 
Monday, Oct. 31, 2021 3:15 – 4:15pm (CET) 


Abstract
Edge Ai has reached a sufficient maturity in 2022 to offer a broad range of out-of-the lab applications: vision, speech, anomaly detection, recommendations… Ai chips are becoming mainstream and are now populating our smartphones which are becoming pocket supercomputers. At the same time, research in deep learning model compression and optimization is flourishing and large language/speech models can now be reasonably executed on edge devices. 
This is a unique opportunity to see our personal (sensitive) data being processed locally and finally working at our exclusive service. Beyond the user-owned data and full privacy advantage, Edge Ai offers minimal latency, full model personalization, reduced development costs and smaller carbon footprint. 
In this seminar, we will describe ClearSky’s vision and journey towards the next generation of Ai Assistants on edge devices.
