Why artificial intelligence can continue to transform industries

Until now, artificial intelligence has largely relied on cloud computing, which offers virtually unlimited computational power: this is advantageous when it comes to training data-heavy AI models in a reasonable amount of time and making inferences with reduced latency. Executing artificial intelligence and machine learning directly on Edge devices paves the way for a new era of intelligent and autonomous things. Edge devices powered by AI have emerged as an alternative with its own benefits for organisations, including latency, capacity for more complex algorithms, and near real-time response. They are also a go-to option when data protection laws prevent storage of data within a cloud-centric service.
