Technologie: Drohnen, Roboter, Autos: KI in Endgeräten bietet neue Chance für Europas Chiphersteller
Der Technikvorstand von NXP registriert eine „gigantisch“ steigende Nachfrage. Sollten sich KI-Anwendungen im Alltag durchsetzen, könnten die Europäer gegenüber Nvidia aufholen.
The prediction that the cloud hype would fade was bold, said Lars Reger, the technology chief of Dutch chipmaker NXP, during the CES trade show in Las Vegas at the beginning of the year. Instead, artificial intelligence (AI) was set to become more prevalent on end devices. Reger had underestimated the cloud business in his assessment.
The AI data center boom was continuing unabated, but the core of his prediction had materialized, he told the Handelsblatt newspaper. Decentralized AI in robots, medical technology, household appliances, or cars was spreading "faster than expected". AI models were being executed directly on the chips of these devices, rather than processed in data centers.
"The demand is skyrocketing," said Reger. This is creating "a very large market". Opportunities for Europe This opens up opportunities not just for NXP, but for Europe's semiconductor industry as a whole. German chipmaker Infineon and the French-Italian manufacturer STMicroelectronics have specialized in chips for such applications. In the industry, this approach is known as "Edge AI". The broader term is "Physical AI".
