Edge AI is at home in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and the Internet of Things.
The term „Edge AI“ stands for artificial intelligence (AI) that runs not in a central cloud, but directly at the „edge“ of a network – for example, on a device such as a camera, a sensor, or a smartphone. This means Edge AI processes data immediately where it originates and makes autonomous decisions. An important advantage is speed, as information does not first have to be sent to a remote server. Furthermore, Edge AI protects sensitive data because it does not need to leave the device.
An understandable example: In a modern factory, cameras with edge AI detect faulty products during production and automatically reject them – without needing an internet connection. This saves time and money, and improves quality. Edge AI therefore ensures that machines and devices can react more quickly and safely, which is becoming increasingly important, especially in industry and everyday life.
