Edge AI, Energy, And Autonomy
What if the next big jump in productivity isn’t a single breakthrough but a flywheel—AI that runs on the edge, energy systems that adapt in real time, and autonomy that safely acts in the physical world? Professor Winston Hsu of NPU in Taiwan brings academic perspective and industry experience together to map where the value actually lands over the next few years.
We start by reframing AI’s progress through four waves—perception, language, scaling, and now longer-context reasoning—and explain why the most useful gains are arriving from the opposite direction: small, capable models that run…
