AI-Blox chooses European AI hardware
Published
The Belgian company AI-Blox is taking a different path in the world of artificial intelligence. While many tech companies mainly work with hardware from the United States or Asia, AI-Blox wants to develop European AI hardware. According to De Tijd, this is a deliberate choice, and the company is therefore swimming against the tide.
Together with co-founder Jeroen Plasman, the founder has developed modular Edge AI computers. Edge AI means that data is not sent to a large data centre, but is processed locally, directly at the source. This can happen, for example, with cameras or other sensors. The advantage of this approach is that the computer can react more quickly, because the data does not have to travel a long way.
Modular computers are computers made up of separate components. A customer can combine these components and adapt them to their own needs. As a result, the same basic technology can be used in different sectors. For European companies, this can also mean that they are less dependent on hardware from other parts of the world.
AI-Blox shows that there is room for innovation in AI hardware in Belgium and Europe. In the coming period, it will become clear whether the European approach finds enough customers in a market dominated by large, foreign players.
