Edge AI

Edge AI is running AI models on or near the device where data is produced, such as a phone, camera, vehicle or drone, rather than in a distant cloud data centre.

What is Edge AI?

Edge AI reduces latency, saves bandwidth, keeps working without connectivity and keeps data local. Telecoms operators support it through multi-access edge computing.

How it works

Compact or quantised models are deployed onto devices with AI accelerators or onto local edge servers.
