AI is getting smarter but it’s still thinking in the wrong place. Currently too much intelligence sits in the cloud, leaving devices dependent, fragile, and slower than the real world can tolerate. If IoT is going to feed the next wave of AI, the model has to flip. Intelligence needs to move into the device, with the cloud supporting updates and orchestration, not doing all the thinking. David Linthicum joins the podcast for one of our deepest conversations yet, exploring what it takes to rebuild AI for the edge, including: • Why today’s “agents” are not truly autonomous • The case for a client-server style architecture for AI • How small, purpose-built models can live inside constrained IoT devices • Why 5G will not solve latency, reliability, or physics • Why device manufacturers will set the standard, not the cloud giants Tune in to hear why edge intelligence is the reset AI and IoT both need.
