Next Generation of edge AI crossing technology fields

Project description

Fostering European excellence in the field of edge AI

In recent years, significant advancements in AI, machine learning, and related fields have led to a notable increase in the integration and incorporation of these technologies. Novel AI solutions, with LLMs and other new AI technologies, are becoming crucial components of services and operations. The EU-funded NeAIxt project aims to develop a strategic initiative to foster European excellence, control, and independence in edge AI technology. Specifically, the project will enhance AI enablers, evolving and demonstrating revolutionary technologies such as eNVM for edge applications, to ensure safety, reliability, and increased performance. It also plans to address the entire edge AI value chain, ensuring compliance with European privacy and safety standards.

Objective

Europe is poised to play a pivotal role in the technological revolution, particularly in the field of edge AI, which promises sustainable growth, performance, and reliability. The NeAIxt project is a strategic initiative designed to foster European independence and control over edge AI technology, benefiting both companies and citizens.
The project presents a golden opportunity for European SMEs to grow, network, and enhance skills, leveraging exposure to the global market. Research labs and RTOs will bridge the gap to the future by developing necessary technologies and competencies, while universities will cultivate and disseminate advanced skills required for this technological evolution.
NeAIxt aims to solidify Europe's position in edge AI and eNVM technology by enhancing AI enablers, evolving eNVM for edge applications, and demonstrating AI capabilities at both chip and system levels. The project is committed to ensuring the safety and security of AI services, adhering to EU regulations.
Key technical developments include the advancement of 18nm FD-SOI and next-generation embedded Phase Change Memory (ePCM). These innovations will lead to high-performance, secure microcontrollers with AI capabilities, offering low power consumption and high security for smart applications.
The project will integrate advances in non-volatile memory technologies with cutting-edge MCU design to enable efficient in-memory computing. This synergy will deliver a fully European solution for reliable, safe, and independent edge AI applications.
NeAIxt will address the entire edge AI value chain, from academia to industry, and from design to end-user applications, building on Europe's strong technological foundation. The project's outcomes will alleviate societal concerns about AI proliferation by ensuring compliance with European privacy standards, fostering AI adoption in various sectors.
