On November 18, 2025 at 9 am PT (noon ET), the Yole Group’s Tom Hackenberg, principal analyst for computing, will present the free hour webinar “How AI-enabled Microcontrollers Are Expanding Edge AI Opportunities,” organized by the Edge AI and Vision Alliance. Here’s the description, from the event registration page:
Running AI inference at the edge, versus in the cloud, has many compelling benefits; greater privacy, lower latency and real-time responsiveness key among them. But implementing edge AI in highly cost-, power-, or size-constrained devices has historically been impractical due to its compute, memory and storage implementation requirements.
Nowadays, however, the AI accelerators and related resources included in modern microcontrollers, in combination with technology developments and toolset enhancements that shrink the size of deep learning models, are making it possible to run computer vision, speech interfaces, and other AI capabilities at the edge.
In this webinar, Tom Hackenberg, Principal Analyst for Computing at the Yole Group, will explain that while scaling AI upward into massive data centers may dominate today’s headlines, scaling downward to edge applications may be even more transformative. Hackenberg will share market size and forecast data, along with supplier product and developer application case study examples, to support his contention that edge deployment is key to unlocking AI’s full potential across industries. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.
