The AI landscape is evolving beyond gigantic models like GPT-4 towards a new generation of small, smart, and specialised models that can run privately, securely and efficiently on everyday devices. In this talk, Mehmood explores how these compact models, trained on domain-specific data, deliver powerful performance while reducing energy costs, improving privacy, and removing the need for constant cloud access. From customer service chatbots that understand regional dialects to intelligent on-device assistants in healthcare and retail, discover how small AI is making intelligence more sustainable, secure, and accessible for businesses of all sizes.
