Phil Nash, Developer Relations Engineer @ IBM
Practical Web AI: Built-In, Browser Based, Brilliant
AI progress is running away on the server-side, where the GPUs live, but the web platform is never that far behind. In this talk we're going to explore the incredible applications you can build in the browser today and in the near future.You'll see how to build an offline-capable, speech to speech language translation app, a babelfish, using nothing but the web platform. Through this app we'll explore the different ways we can run AI models in the browser today and what may be built into the browser in the future. From low-level standards to high-level experiments, you'll learn how to work with AI on the web.
