The article below discusses new technology that is being developed at the University of Waterloo that enables Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be free of the internet and cloud computing. The technology would be small enough to be compatible with a wide range of machines such as smartphones to robots, making AI more private and portable. Alex Wong, professor at the University of Waterloo and co-creator of this technology believes that this has huge potential in how AI could operate. The use of stand-alone-deep-learning AI would lead to much lower data processing and transmission costs, greater privacy and use in areas where existing technology is impractical. Additionally, this deep-learning technology is extremely adaptable and always learning to survive without resources. The researchers behind this technology recently achieved a 200-fold reduction in size of deep-learning AI software at the International Conference on Computer Vision in Venice, Italy. The company, named DarwinAI, is getting ready to launch and commercialize this software. Learn more about this here:

The idea is very useful. At first thought, the topic seen not that remarkable. Internet is always available in common cases, and users care no thing about how AI work in the background. However, the biggest weakness of AI is lost of privacy. The reality size (picture, GPS, videos, etc) reveal users location and use condition. The new technology can provides a better user-experiences that not just save phone data usages but prevent people from exposing their private information.
