Horizon Robotics has entered the race in artificial intelligence ( AI ) computing technology , following Intel 's recent launch of its Tensor Processing Unit . The new chip from Horizon was shown at the EmTech Hong Kong industry conference last week and is expected to facilitate artificial intelligence applications , according to the company 's CEO , Dr. Kai Wang , 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. He suggests chips , such as those from Intel , that currently drive conventional vehicles are structurally incapable of supporting AI and states that his company 's focus is on home appliance technology and autonomous vehicles .
