DevTalk with Rich and Vin

Whether you’re aware of it or not. AI is pervading many of our “traditional” applications, such as HVAC. Adding some smarts to this equipment allows the HVAC system to perform longer and more efficiently, resulting in a better user experience and a cost savings. To get a better handle on how this works and how it should be implemented, Rich and Vin spoke to Nalin Balan, a Business Development Manager for Reality AI, a Renesas company, on this episode of DevTalk with Rich and Vin.

More detail will be available on a related webinar titled Use AI/ML to Deploy Smart Self-Diagnosing HVAC Systems, occurring on August 9, 11:00 AM ET.

AI seems to be omni-present. It’s in the news, it’s in our classrooms, and it’s certainly in our engineering labs. But are we spending too much time discussing the technology that’s the current “new thing,” or is it really the greatest technology of our lifetime? In this episode of DevTalk with Rich and Vin, we ponder that question, and make a determination. Tune in to find out what we think. 

During the podcast, we reference the AI Day Virtual Conference. Check out the link for more info.

While Rich and Vin usually believe they all the answers to all the design-related questions, that may not always be the case. For example, when the question of where to begin your AI-based design came up, the “experts” felt in was prudent to bring in someone even more expert. In this case, that was Stuart Feffer, of Renesas. 

Note that Stuart will be conducting a webinar on this topic.

AI and machine learning are relatively new technologies in the embedded space. And the only way an application space can grow is by having a robust ecosystem. Some may argue that such an ecosystem already exists for AI, while others say that developers should wait a bit before diving in.

To get a handle on where this important topic stands, Rich and Vin sat with Kaushal Vora, a Senior Director at Renesas. Kaushal works with suppliers in this space and is lending a hand in the creation of the AI ecosystem.

Note that we are holding a webcast on a very similar topic that you may find valuable. The webcast is May 16 at 11:00AM ET.
