Google plans to develop dedicated chips that can incorporate artificial intelligence into mobile terminals and understand "relationships"

As a technology necessary for next-generation smartphones,Machine IntelligenceI am using the keyword " This is a technology "computer understands relationship", as a cooperative partner of Machine Intelligence development semiconductor start-upMovidiusWe announced a partnership with Google. With Google and Movidius partnership, mobile terminals are likely to step up to a new stage.

What you can do with Machine Intelligence is talked about in the following movie.

With Machine Intelligence, every terminal can understand about the world around us, and the world of personal computing will change.


We need a dedicated chip to realize that Machine Intelligence, and we are tied up with Movidius of semiconductor maker and Google.


"Computers are becoming more intelligent as we connect with us.Machine Intelligence can understand 'relationships'," says Blais Aquera Alkas, head of MI development.


For example, what people are watching now ......


What are you talking about and what does that mean ......


To instantly judge what the object in front of you is, and so on.


Understanding these relationships means that the same mechanism as the human brain is necessary.


Remember Elkzan CEO of Movidius to state that Machine Intelligence's approach is a new computing approach.


In order to complete the deep learning technology using the neural network with the processor of the terminal, dedicated circuit design with extremely low power consumption is required.


"This is like bringing data center technology to the real world," Mr. Alcus expresses.


As a study to utilize Machine Intelligence, I will first tackle the video system. This is a sensing technology that recognizes what kind of things are in the room.


With Machine Intelligence compatible processor extremely excellent power saving and ... ...


There are many problems to be solved including the minimum size.


However, Google expects Machine Intelligence to significantly change the way people and the world connect with each other over the next 10 years.


Although details on what kind of machine intelligence is not disclosed, it is a technology which enables advanced processing by the terminal alone without relying on information from the data center when using a mobile terminal etc. It seems.

Movidius is a startup that mainly develops a processor for image processing, and its semiconductor chip is a real-time 3D sensing terminal GoogleProject TangoIt was adopted in the terminal of.

What kind of future is possible will be understood by looking at a movie that actually uses Google 's "Project Tango" which 3D scans the space in 3D with a smartphone and realizes it in 3D - GIGAZINE


As we considered developing a next-generation technology called Machine Intelligence, we thought that a dedicated design from the semiconductor level is necessary, so it seems that we will develop both software and hardware by partnering with Movidius.

Techniques using Machine Intelligence include development of drone capable of avoiding collision by instantly judging the technique of judging the context from the surrounding information such as the real sensation technology also found in the movie and the expression of the person and the surrounding circumstances, It seems that it can be cited as a technology that can be realized in the near future relatively, such as utilization in the world.
