Using AI efficiently and in a sustainable way
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being run directly on devices, machines, and sensors to reduce latency, meet data privacy requirements, and decrease reliance on cloud infrastructures. At the same time, limited computing resources and energy availability place high demands on the efficiency of AI systems.
The workshop provides an overview of methods and technologies for energy-efficient AI at the edge. Building on classical approaches such as model pruning, quantization, binary neural networks, and resource-efficient network architectures for embedded systems, the workshop presents current strategies for reducing memory requirements, computational effort, and energy consumption. In addition, the limitations of today’s deep learning methods will be examined, and their implications for future AI systems will be discussed.
Building on this, the workshop introduces the fundamentals of neuromorphic computing. Participants will learn about the principles of event-driven information processing, spiking neural networks, and neuromorphic hardware, and will gain insight into current application areas as well as the technological maturity of this promising technology.
Overview & general conditions
-
The following questions form the central theme of the workshop and will be addressed in the individual agenda items:
- How can we bring AI to small, energy-efficient devices?
- Why are traditional approaches insufficient in the long term?
- What might future biologically inspired AI systems look like?
After the workshop, participants will be able to classify various approaches to efficient edge AI, evaluate their potential applications, and understand the role neuromorphic systems can play in the next generation of intelligent, energy-efficient applications.
