GETTY

The “edge” refers to computational AI devices that do not rely on the cloud for their results. This makes AI more accessible to users. It runs computations directly on local devices like laptop PCs, internet of things devices, sensor data processors and medical devices using many autonomous parallel neural processors (NPUs) that function independently of the central processor. In the past, edge devices used the cloud to perform their AI computation.
