Artificial intelligence is the hype of today, it is all over the internet, on TV, and in every newspaper. You have probably seen deep fake videos made with AI and maybe you own a personal assistant that recognizes what you say to it and then plays your favourite music or turns on the lights.

MAX78000

The MAX78000 neural network accelerator from Maxim Integrated is targeted at this kind of applications, devices and gadgets near and around you or even on you in the case of wearables. It adds AI capabilities to low-power devices without needing a connection to the internet.

In this webinar Brian Rush from Maxim Integrated presents both the MAX78000 and the MAX78000FTHR development module.
