    AIGaitor: Privacy-preserving and cloud-free motion analysis for everyone, using edge computing

    Researchers have developed AIGaitor, a novel system for motion analysis that operates entirely on a smartphone, eliminating the need for cloud processing. This approach addresses key barriers in clinical motion capture, such as cost, complexity, and privacy concerns, as identified by rehabilitation clinicians. AIGaitor utilizes on-device neural accelerators to perform markerless monocular motion capture and deep-learning analysis, achieving processing times comparable to cloud-based systems. AI

    IMPACT Enables accessible, private, and low-cost motion analysis for clinical and personal use via consumer smartphones.

    AI is killing the cheap smartphone

    The era of increasingly powerful and affordable consumer electronics, particularly cheap smartphones, is ending due to a global memory shortage. AI's massive demand for memory has led to a reallocation of these components away from consumer devices and towards data centers. This shift is causing a significant price increase and a projected 13% drop in worldwide smartphone shipments, disproportionately affecting lower-cost models and potentially limiting internet access for developing regions. AI

    IMPACT Consumer electronics prices are rising due to AI's demand for memory, potentially limiting access to technology for lower-income populations.
