Accelerating AI, Machine Learning and Data Through Hardware

The true power of information is on the cusp of being unleashed through the abilities of AI and ML to finally create value out of data collection. We are now at a tipping point where hardware innovations will increasingly become the driver to create the interface that results in these disruptive market forces.

Now in its 5th year, HardwareCon’s 2019 theme will be “Connecting AI, Machine Learning and Data through Hardware.” Hardware is an absolute necessity to achieve the full capabilities of AI, IoT and Machine Learning. It fuels everything from chips to robotics. The industry is on the cusp of disrupting a number of technology platforms and markets, and HardwareCon is connecting these dots.
