Artificial Intelligence Applications on Edge

Edge AI

Abstract

In general, AI services are currently deployed in cloud data centers (the cloud) for handling requests, due to the fact that most AI models are complex and hard to compute their inference results on the side of resource-limited devices. However, such kind of “end–cloud” architecture cannot meet the needs of real-time AI services such as real-time analytics, smart manufacturing, etc. Thus, deploying AI applications on the edge can broaden the application scenarios of AI especially with respect to the low-latency characteristic. In the following, we present edge AI applications and highlight their advantages over the comparing architectures without edge computing.
