All possible - an excerpt from a recent article from Wire19 on Edge AI


The potential of Edge AI is vast. As per a report by Tractica, AI edge device shipments are expected to increase from 161.4 million units in 2018 to 2.6 billion units by 2025. Here, the top AI-enabled edge devices include smart speakers, mobile phones, head-mounted displays, PCs/tablets, automotive sensors, robots, drones and security cameras. Wearable health sensors will also see an increased application of AI.

Advantages of AI-enabled decision making at edge:

• Highly responsive: Edge AI-enabled devices process data really fast as compared to centralized IoT models.
• Greater security: With a processing time of less than few milliseconds, the risk of data getting tampered during transit is very less. These devices also include enhanced security features.
• Greater customer experiences: Edge AI gives a solution to one of the most prevailing problems – latency. Low latency and real-time insights help in building great customer experiences.
