AI Agents Everywhere: Why the Cloud Isn’t Enough

What will it take to bring always-available AI into everyday devices? 

Physical AI promises to sense our surroundings, understand what we need, and act on our behalf. Bringing that intelligence into everyday life will require the cloud and energy-efficient edge devices working together—within the tight constraints of battery life, memory, and compute. 

Join Scott Hanson, Ambiq’s Founder and CTO, on December 10 at 10:10 AM – 10:45 AM CDT as he explores what it takes to move from today’s connected devices to always-available edge AI. 

Using an always-available voice assistant as a practical example, Scott will walk through the SENSE–THINK–ACT framework and the engineering challenges that shape what these devices can do. 

In this keynote, you’ll learn: 

  • Where edge and cloud work together: Why sensing, understanding, and acting require intelligence closer to where data is created. 
  • What stands in the way: How compute performance, memory, power consumption, and software development affect real-world AI capabilities. 
  • What comes next: The technology breakthroughs needed to make more capable, energy-efficient AI agents practical. 

Explore what the next generation of AI will demand—and what it will take to build it.
