Join us live on Thursday, December 11 at 16:00 CET for an exclusive Elektor webinar: "AI at the Edge: The Future of Physical AI with Edge Impulse" with Daniel Situnayake (Director of Applied Research & Edge AI at Edge Impulse).


Artificial Intelligence is leaving the cloud and moving to the edge. This shift is transforming how we interact with devices in our homes, factories, and daily lives. With increasingly powerful embedded processors and efficient foundation models, intelligence is now being built directly into devices, from simple microcontrollers to advanced robotics systems.

Join Elektor and Edge Impulse’s Daniel Situnayake, one of the pioneers of embedded AI and co-author of TinyML, for a fascinating discussion on how edge AI is redefining what’s possible for engineers, developers, and innovators.
 

Topics for Consideration:

  • From Cloud to Edge (A Paradigm Shift): AI processing is moving from the cloud to local devices. Advantages include lower latency, reduced power consumption, enhanced privacy, and cost efficiency.
  • The New Hardware Landscape: Even mid-range MCUs can now run machine learning tasks such as vision and keyword spotting. New silicon accelerators are making foundation models viable at the edge.
  • Intelligence Everywhere: Modern processors and software tools are democratizing AI development. Explore practical examples.
  • On-Device Generative AI: Edge devices can now create — not just interpret — text, audio, and images. Learn about real-world applications in audio enhancement, media creation, and human–machine interaction.
  • Designing for the Edge: Engineers must rethink products for on-device intelligence rather than relying on the cloud. Understand how this shift will influence product design, peer-to-peer communication, and business models.

Who Should Attend?

Are you curious about edge AI and its potential? The webinar is well suited for embedded systems engineers, product managers, AI/ML practitioners, IoT innovators, and electronics enthusiasts interested in the future of intelligent devices.

About the Speaker

Daniel Situnayake is Director of Applied Research & Edge AI at Edge Impulse, acquired by Qualcomm in 2025, and was the founding engineer. He’s a technologist, entrepreneur, and co-author of two popular books on embedded artificial intelligence: AI at the Edge, which provides practical insights for engineers, PMs, and engineering leaders, and TinyML, one of the standard introductory textbooks for embedded machine learning. He previously worked on TensorFlow at Google Brain, founded the company Tiny Farms, and taught at Birmingham City University.
