In this episode, Jim speaks with Jags Kandasamy, Co-Founder and CEO of Latent AI, about how enterprises are moving artificial intelligence from the cloud to the edge.
Jags shares how Latent AI is helping organizations deploy and optimize AI models across edge devices – reducing infrastructure costs while enabling real-time decision-making. The conversation explores the rise of edge AI and physical AI, with real-world use cases across manufacturing, retail, utilities, and defense.
They also break down the concept of the edge continuum, offering practical guidance on when to process data locally versus in the cloud, and how to manage the growing cost of data movement. From AI-powered drone inspections to mission-critical defense systems, this episode highlights how edge intelligence is transforming enterprise operations.
Jags closes with advice for founders and students: focus on real-world problems, develop domain expertise, and use AI as a tool – not the starting point.
