Taking Technology to the Edge at Edge Field Day 3

No matter what area of technology you’re interested in, it’s moving to the edge. We’re seeing a proliferation of applications for advanced networking, AI, compute, and storage solutions across industries like retail, industrial, military, media, and more. Over the past few years, Edge Field Day has highlighted key products and technologies for edge environments, and the next Tech Field Day event is coming soon. Our next Edge Field Day event is on September 18th and 19th, and I hope you can tune in live or watch the recordings. Here’s a quick overview of what to look forward to.

https://youtu.be/K3nIN7TIIbg

Things kick off on Wednesday, September 18th at 8:00 AM Pacific with VMware by Broadcom, which is bringing advanced application and networking services to edge environments. We recently got a glimpse of software-defined edge at VMware Explore, and this discussion continues at Edge Field Day. Avassa takes the stage at 10:30 AM to demonstrate how easy it is to migrate legacy VMs and containers to the edge. The Avassa platform simplifies edge deployments by packaging VMs as containers during migration. At 1:30 PM, we welcome TSecond, a company specializing in large data capture, data transport, and AI in unforgiving environments. The TSecond BRYCK is a high-performance, petabyte-scale mobile data solution that now enables AI right at the edge.

Thursday begins with Ignite presentations by the Edge Field Day delegates, which is always a highlight of our events. We welcome ZEDEDA back to Edge Field Day at 10:30 AM Pacific for a session focused on edge orchestration and management. They’ll dive into Kubernetes, edge AI, and more. At 1:30 PM, we’ll learn about OnLogic, the leading manufacturer of industrial small-form-factor computers for edge environments. Their presentation will take us through various environments that require unique compute solutions.

You can also catch the Edge Field Day delegates on our Tech Field Day podcast, including two special episodes recorded next week. Check out our appearances on Techstrong Gang and the Gestalt IT Rundown, and tune in for behind-the-scenes shorts, tech talks, and extras recorded in Silicon Valley.

AI Solves All Our Problems

Although AI can be quite useful, it seems that the promise of generative AI has lead to irrational exuberance on the topic. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast, recorded ahead of AI Field Day, features Justin Warren, Alastair Cooke, Frederic van Haren, and Stephen Foskett considering the promises made about AI. Generative AI was so impressive that it escaped from the lab, being pushed into production before it was ready for use. We are still living with the repercussions of this decision on a daily basis, with AI assistants appearing everywhere. Many customers are already frustrated by these systems, leading to a rapid push-back against the universal use of LLM chatbots. One problem the widespread mis-use of AI has solved already is the search for a driver of computer hardware and software sales, though this already seems to be wearing off. But once we take stock of the huge variety of tools being created, it is likely that we will have many useful new technologies to apply.

https://youtu.be/Ph6ipfZB7z0

Which Problems Does AI Solve?

There is a dichotomy in artificial intelligence (AI) between the hype surrounding generative AI and the practical realities of its implementation. While AI has the potential to address various challenges across industries, the rush to deploy these technologies has often outpaced their readiness for real-world applications. This has led to a proliferation of AI systems that, while impressive in theory, frequently fall short in practice, resulting in frustration among users and stakeholders.

Generative AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), has captured the imagination of marketers and technologists alike. The excitement surrounding these tools has led to their rapid adoption in various sectors, from customer service to content creation. However, this enthusiasm has not been without consequences. Many organizations have integrated AI into their operations without fully understanding its limitations, leading to a backlash against systems that fail to deliver on their promises. The expectation that AI can solve all problems has proven to be overly optimistic, as many users encounter issues with accuracy, reliability, and relevance in AI-generated outputs.

The initial excitement surrounding AI technologies can be likened to previous hype cycles in the tech industry, where expectations often exceed the capabilities of the technology. The current wave of AI adoption is no different, with many organizations investing heavily in generative AI without a clear understanding of its practical applications. This has resulted in a scenario where AI is seen as a panacea for various business challenges, despite the fact that many tasks may be better suited for human intervention or simpler automation solutions.

One of the critical issues with the current AI landscape is the tendency to automate processes that may not need automation at all. This can lead to a situation where organizations become entrenched in inefficient practices, making it more challenging to identify and eliminate unnecessary tasks. The focus on deploying AI as a solution can obscure the need for organizations to critically assess their processes and determine whether they are truly adding value.

Moreover, the rapid pace of AI development raises concerns about the sustainability of these technologies. As companies race to innovate and bring new AI products to market, there is a risk that many of these solutions will not be adequately supported or maintained over time. This could lead to a situation where organizations are left with outdated or abandoned technologies, further complicating their efforts to leverage AI effectively.

Despite these challenges, there is a consensus that AI has the potential to drive significant advancements in various fields. The ability of AI to analyze vast amounts of data and identify patterns can lead to improved decision-making and efficiency in many areas. However, realizing this potential requires a more nuanced understanding of AI’s capabilities and limitations, as well as a commitment to responsible implementation.

The conversation around AI also highlights the importance of data as a critical component of successful AI applications. While the algorithms and models are essential, the quality and relevance of the data fed into these systems are equally crucial. Organizations must prioritize data governance and management to ensure that their AI initiatives yield meaningful results.

As the AI landscape continues to evolve, it is essential for stakeholders to remain vigilant and critical of the technologies they adopt. The promise of AI is significant, but it is vital to approach its implementation with a clear understanding of its limitations and the potential consequences of over-reliance on automated solutions. By fostering a culture of critical thinking and continuous improvement, organizations can better navigate the complexities of AI and harness its potential to drive meaningful change.
