Think Beyond Cloud: Intelligent Edge Is the Future of Computing and AI - DZone AI

This drastic reduction in latency alone makes a number of futuristic technologies – such as autonomous vehicles – possible. The advent of cloud computing set off a colossal centralization fever that has caught almost every business that understands the importance of a digital-first business strategy. Even the world's governments and public sector organizations are leveraging the advantages offered by cloud computing. Easy access to data, powerful analytical tools, and improved business agility have enabled organizations to make more "intelligent" and informed decisions than ever before. However, over the next few years, a rival computing architecture approach – decentralization – will witness a sharp uptick in popularity, fueled by edge computing.
