Horizon Robotics has entered the race in artificial intelligence (AI) computing chips, following Google's recent launch of its Tensor Processing Unit. The new chip from Horizon was shown at the EmTech Hong Kong tech conference last week and is expected to facilitate artificial intelligence software, according to the company's CEO, Dr. Kai Yu, who was formerly head of the deep learning institute at Baidu. Many tech giants employ this technology, which has advanced image and speech recognition abilities in machines and online services. In a blog post announcing the chip, Yu said that it will be used for "advanced machine learning" applications such as image recognition or natural language processing.
