Edge AI

Edge AI refers to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and models at the edge of a network, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud computing resources. This approach allows data processing and analytics to occur closer to the source of data generation—such as IoT devices, sensors, or gateways—enabling real-time decision-making and reducing latency. By performing computations locally, Edge AI can also enhance privacy and security by minimizing the amount of sensitive data transmitted to the cloud. Additionally, it helps to alleviate bandwidth constraints and lowers operational costs by reducing the need for extensive data transfers. Applications of Edge AI can be found in various domains, including autonomous vehicles, smart cities, healthcare, and manufacturing, where immediate responses are crucial. Overall, Edge AI optimizes performance by balancing computational tasks between the edge devices and centralized systems.
