Sony and Raspberry Pi have joined forces, the objective is to bring AI to these monoplates that are so well known throughout the world. Yes, Sony wants the Raspberry Pi to have artificial intelligence capabilities and for this it has decided to integrate its Aitrios technology. We are going to see in detail what this movement on the part of Sony means.
Aitrios is Sony’s commitment to artificial intelligence integrated into the Raspberry Pi. This tiny chip will allow the Raspberry Pi to increase its capabilities in image treatment and processing in real time, allowing it to recognize faces at a higher speed or perform other types of tasks of this type.
Logically, to be able to recognize faces, it is not only necessary to have a chip with AI. You also need an image sensor and, of course, Sony has ready a sensor known as IMX500 that will work together with the Aitrios chip to ensure that new capabilities can be fully exploited.
Obviously, we are talking about AI processing on premises and without access to the cloud. In fact, this chip will be physically installed in the Raspberry Pi devices in order to start working. By having this approach the latency will be extremely lower than what we would find in an AI response in the cloud.
AI comes to Raspberry Pi from Sony
While the Raspberry Pi’s AI capabilities are a major advance in the field of AI and machine learning, it’s important to note that the technology is still in its early stages.
Developers will need to overcome various challenges, such as privacy and data security concerns, before AI-based solutions can be widely adopted across various industries. In fact, Different adaptations must be made in order to take full advantage of this new integration.
The collaboration between Sony and the Raspberry Pi is a significant step towards democratizing AI technology. By making AI capabilities more accessible and affordable, more developers will be incentivized to experiment and innovate in the field of AI and machine learning.
We will have to wait to see applications that are given to this technology and, above all, the price that the Raspberry Pi models that arrive with this new chip intended to offer integration with AI will have.
