Planning and execution are two very different beasts. A project may appear straightforward on paper, staying within budget, on schedule, and technically sound, only to hit roadblocks in the real world. However, turning ideas into reality isn’t always smooth, and success depends on how well we anticipate and navigate the unknowns. This gap between concept and execution is especially pronounced in the fast-growing realm of edge artificial intelligence (AI). In a recent roundtable discussion...

One of the more exciting developments now happening in the high-tech world is the work being done to enable quantum computing.
