Sony and Raspberry Pi have just jointly announced the signing of a strategic partnership aimed at improving the development of solutions related to artificial intelligence.
This agreement follows a long-standing collaboration between the two companies.
Sony and Raspberry Pi will work hand in hand on AI…
On April 12, Sony’s semiconductor division (Sony Semiconductor Solutions) proudly announced that it had reached an agreement with Raspberry Pi. The two companies had actually been collaborating for several years (the Japanese manufacturer was already supplying image sensors to Raspberry Pi), but this new agreement will allow Raspberry to benefit from a development platform for Sony’s advanced artificial intelligence devices.
Here are the words of Terushi Shimizu, President and CEO of Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation, reported to us by the site Engadget : “ We are very happy to partner with Raspberry Pi Ltd. to bring our AITRIOS platform, which supports the development of unique and diverse solutions using our state-of-the-art artificial intelligence devices, to the Raspberry Pi user and developer community, and to provide a one-stop development experience. »
… but for what purpose?
Thanks to Sony’s AI technology, Raspberry Pi will now be able to help customers design new machine learning applications. This will also allow Sony to extend its AITRIOS technology to a wider market. ” Our goal is to provide new value to a variety of industries and help them solve problems using our innovative artificial intelligence detection technology based on image sensors. said Terushi Shimizu.
If Sony’s AITRIOS edge computing artificial intelligence platform can be used in the surveillance or security sectors, it will allow future Raspberry Pis to take advantage of its image detection capabilities, particularly with regard to the facial recognition. With the incorporation of AI with AITRIOS, nanocomputers should therefore become even more useful than they already were!
