This talk explores a more sustainable approach to AI: embedded intelligence, where AI runs directly on low-cost, local devices rather than relying on energy-intensive cloud infrastructure. By processing data on the device itself, we can dramatically reduce energy consumption, improve response times, and enhance data privacy.

Speaker
Dr. Liucheng Guo co-founded TG0 to turn this vision into reality. TG0’s patented technology transforms flexible materials into intelligent, touch-sensitive surfaces—eliminating the need for traditional mechanical sensors. The result is a new generation of intuitive, low-power human-machine interfaces. By combining tactile sensing with embedded AI, TG0’s systems deliver smarter, more efficient solutions. From pressure-mapping in rehabilitation to seamless controls in consumer electronics, TG0’s technology showcases how intelligent systems can be made not only more accessible and responsive—but fundamentally more sustainable.
