Raspberry Pi—the creators behind the world's most famous minicomputer—is taking a stab at creating hardware that uses artificial intelligence. Their attempt is a camera module that offers built-in AI processing.
Raspberry Pi collaborated with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation to create the US$70 (around CA$94) Raspberry Pi AI camera module. It's built to help users develop "advanced AI solutions that process visual data" with ease. It combines the company’s RP2040 microcontroller chip with Sony's IMX500 intelligent vision sensor that processes images with AI on the chip.
