Abstract
An image forming apparatus as electronic equipment includes an AI processor provided with a memory, a storage unit capable of storing a binary, which is a program for the AI processor, and an AI processor operation unit that operates the AI processor. The AI processor operation unit deploys, in the memory, the binary stored in the storage unit. The AI processor executes a function of the binary by loading the binary deployed in the memory. The binary is not included in firmware of the image forming apparatus.
