Raspberry Pi announces new $70 AI camera

Raspberry Pi, famous for its affordable single-board computers, announced a new AI camera today (Sept. 30).

The company ventured out into artificial intelligence earlier this year with the arrival of its AI kit in June.

“The AI Kit is an awesomely powerful piece of hardware, capable of performing thirteen trillion operations per second,” writes Naush Patuck on the company’s blog. “But it is only compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, and requires a separate camera module to capture visual data.”

That’s where the AI camera comes in.
