Sony Says It Created World's First Image Sensor With Built-in AI

Sony touted on Thursday the world's first image sensors with built-in artificial intelligence, promising to make data-gathering tasks much faster and more secure. Calling it the first of its kind, Sony said the technology would give "intelligent vision" to cameras for retail and industrial applications. From a report: The new sensors are akin to tiny self-contained computers, incorporating a logic processor and memory. They're capable of image recognition without generating any images, allowing them to do AI tasks like identifying, analyzing or counting objects without offloading any information to a separate chip. Sony said the method provides increased privacy while also making it possible to do near-instant analysis and object tracking. Sony joins tech giants like Huawei and Google that have been building dedicated AI silicon to help accelerate everything from image processing to machine learning.
