The GigE Vision standard uses a UDP-based protocol called GVSP to facilitate image transfer using Ethernet. As data rates have increased, some manufacturers have encountered difficulty achieving performance using GVSP, particularly when data rates approach 10Gbps or higher. This has led to experimentation with TCP or RDMA protocols to mitigate those difficulties but we see these options converge the GigEVision standard with point-to-point protocols like CXP and USB.

Since today’s artificial intelligence does not develop an awareness of what it learns, AI in principle is completely objective. Therefore the risks of using AI are related to the data and not in the AI itself. The current discussion of AI and ethics aims to prevent artificial intelligence systems from discriminating people.
