Lessons Learned and Open Challenges

  • First Online:
Edge AI

Abstract

To identify existing challenges and circumvent potential misleading directions, we briefly introduce the potential scenario of “AI Application on Edge,” and separately discuss open issues related to four enabling technologies that we focus on, i.e., “AI Inference in Edge,” “Edge Computing for AI,” “AI Training at Edge,” and “AI for Optimizing Edge.”
