Artificial intelligence (AI) and its subset, machine learning (ML), are expanding into more applications and changing the way we interact with devices and machines forever.
These devices and machines are getting smarter as machine learning algorithms process and analyze large quantities of data to learn and make decisions autonomously with human-like intelligence.
Arm is bringing AI to trillions of edge devices by adding ML capabilities to processor technology and software, making them smarter, more energy efficient, and more affordable.
Arm technologies enable the world’s most popular AI platform — the smartphone — supporting machine learning (ML) features like predictive text, speech recognition, and computational photography.
We’re also enabling newer AI platforms and AI applications, like voice assistants and consumer robots that are revolutionizing how people interact with technology and the way technology interacts with the world.
As we move from the era of web services and apps to an era of AI-based systems, AI is becoming pervasive in all computing applications. Autonomous driving is changing how we use cars. Smartphones are becoming more intuitive and proactive. Radical new business models are set to change our lives in ways we can’t imagine.
Much of this is built with workhorse Arm CPUs and MCUs that today handle much of the AI and ML workloads at the edge.
One AI Platform for All Applications
Arm’s Project Trillium is driving the AI revolution, redefining device capabilities through a thriving design and development ecosystem that has extended its reach from smartphone CPU design and app development to ML.
Project Trillium provides flexible support for ML workloads across all programmable Arm IP as well as partner IP with a new class of ultra-efficient processors and highly optimized software, including:
- The Arm Machine Learning processor with fixed-function and programmable engines, optimized for performance and energy efficiency.
- A free open-source software developer kit, Arm NN, that allows seamless integration with existing neural network frameworks, such as TensorFlow, Caffe, and Android NN.
With support from a vibrant and diverse ecosystem, Project Trillium is driving innovation and choice.
Distributed Intelligence from Cloud to Edge
Distributed intelligence will eventually be in every part of the system, from the datacenter to the devices in our hands.
Arm’s common architecture supports diverse AI applications and their specific requirements everywhere they need to run: from highly capable cores and interconnects for mega compute power in the data center, to extremely power-efficient microcontrollers for AI algorithms in highly constrained, battery-powered edge devices, such as wearables and sensors.
The Arm Pelion IoT platform, combined with Arm’s new class of advanced and ultra-efficient machine learning processors, is transforming the IoT into a global network of securely managed devices woven into the fabric of our digital world.
Pelion supports machine learning in IoT by enabling the capture of metadata generated by IoT devices and their environment. ML engines process metadata from several areas - connectivity, operating systems, and applications - to detect cybersecurity threats, and optimize operations of the devices and the networks in which they operate.
Smart Security for A Trillion Intelligent Devices
AI systems often operate in hazardous environments. Applications such as autonomous vehicles, healthcare, and robots require the highest levels of reliability and a fail-safe ability.
Yet security continues to present an unprecedented global challenge. Arm has responded to this challenge with the Platform Security Architecture (PSA), an architecture-agnostic framework for securing the next AI-infused one trillion connected devices, from endpoint to cloud.
Social Robot ElliQ Alleviates Loneliness Among Elderly
ElliQ is an engaging robotic companion that learns its owner’s behavior patterns to proactively suggest activities, play music, videos, and ebooks, and connect to family and friends through social media. Intuition Robotics uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC built on Arm Cortex technology, with machine learning functionality.
Amiko AI-Powered Sensors
Amiko develops AI-powered sensors as add-ons to standard inhalers to improve asthma treatment. These smart sensors must be low-powered, scalable, and cost-efficient to work with a patient-facing app on a connected platform.
Automotive Safety
Secure implementation for automotive applications, including parking sensors and much more.
With so many applications for artificial intelligence emerging, it can be difficult to know where to start. Talk to an Arm expert about the right machine learning solution for your AI project.
