Edge Computing

Category: Hardware & Infrastructure

Definition

Edge computing runs AI models on local devices instead of sending data to remote servers.

How It Works

Instead of uploading photos to the cloud for analysis, your phone processes them directly. The AI model runs locally using the device's processor.

This keeps data private and works without internet connections.

Why It Matters

Edge computing solves privacy, speed, and connectivity problems. Medical devices can analyze data without sending sensitive information over networks. Cars can make split-second decisions without waiting for server responses.

It makes AI work in situations where cloud computing fails.
