The Fearless AI Challenge: Can You Quickly Deploy AI Inference to Billions of Devices?


Date:  Friday, May 28

Start Time: 12:00 pm

End Time: 12:30 pm

Have you ever been inspired by a new AI research paper and tried to replicate it using open source code, only to end up with a “bricked” development system? This is a common experience. The AI ecosystem is fragmented; many solutions require specialized hardware, such as GPUs, or specific frameworks, libraries, APIs or tools that may conflict with your current development environment. Intel identified this gap and created the OpenVINO toolkit and OpenVINO Notebooks to address these challenges. In this talk, we will show how to get AI inference running in 10 minutes or less—avoiding common pitfalls by simplifying download, setup and runtime. And, using OpenVINO, you can deploy your solution to billions of existing computing devices—including embedded hardware like VPUs—without recompiling your code! Join us and see how. At the end of this session, we will challenge attendees to replicate our work on their own machines.

Session Speakers

  • Raymond Lo is the software evangelist at Intel focusing on the OpenVINO toolkit. Previously, Raymond was the founder and CTO of Y Combinator-backed augmented reality company Meta, the technology evangelist for Samsung NEXT, and Technical Solutions Consultant for Google Cloud AI. During his PhD, Raymond worked with Prof Steve Mann, who is widely recognized as the father of wearable computing from MIT Media Lab. Together they published numerous of research papers on the topic of GPGPUs, open-source HDR videos, and open-source wearable computing projects in the University of Toronto. In 2013, Raymond took his augmented reality (AR) eyeglasses invention and functional prototype from Toronto and co-founded Meta that raised over $80 million for their pioneering development of augmented reality eyeglasses. As the CTO of Meta, he successfully developed and shipped Meta 1 and Meta 2 with a team of over 150+ people. As the executive and Evangelist, he had the opportunity to speak at conferences such as TED talk, SIGGRAPH, Tencent WE Summit, and Hello Tomorrow. His unique combination of startup entrepreneurship and enterprise experiences helped Raymond to create connections to hundreds of startups and thousands of developers around the world.
