AI this, AI that, Here's Raspberry Pi's new AI HAT

Raspberry Pi's back with a new AI HAT.

This time it adds on 8 GB of RAM and the Hailo 10H for $20 over the original.

Raspberry Pi provided the AI HAT+ 2 that I tested in this video. They did not pay for the video nor have any say in the video's contents. See my review sample policy here: https://github.com/geerlingguy/youtub...
