5G + AI/ML = Smart World, Addressing Real-World Problems with Smart Technology

Smart technology is the result of the fusion of AI/ML with highly performant computing and video over an ultra-low latency, high bandwidth, 5G network. From SmartPhones to Smart Cities and a Smart World, these technologies are making us safer and more productive.  This talk will address how AI/ML is being applied to video in real-time to address a wide range of applications from Smart Cities to Smart Retail and Smart Hospitals. In Smart Cities, live video feeds from traffic and city cameras, along with drones, are combined to address issues like access control, suspicious vehicle detection, surveillance using face detection, crowd detection, and vehicle traffic detection. When applied to Smart Retail it can detect missed scans during product check-out or tickets that had been swapped. With Smart Hospitals, this means in bed patient monitoring that detects nearly a dozen conditions where the patient has moved and is in distress, for example, a seizure or they require assistance and have simply waived their hand to get attention.  Wireless 5G networks provide the fabric on which the video and AI/ML-driven computations and results travel. With latency targets for these smart technologies in the 10s of milliseconds, no other broadband network is up to the task.  AI/ML, combined with 5G, is making the world safer and more productive.
