Edge computing and artificial intelligence is a match made in cloud heaven

How can businesses adapt to emerging AI solutions in edge computing? Artificial intelligence could unlock the Internet of Things (IoT) potential every CIO has dreamed of. Yet AI requires substantial compute power, so how close can AI get to the edge? IoT technologies are frequently criticised for being nascent, insecure, pointless or causing uncertainty around ROI. On the other hand, well-advised integration of IoT devices within an industry-standard architecture can improve efficiency, bring costs down, and reduce TCO infrastructure in the long-term. Internet of Things devices will inevitably be "at the edge" of the central compute platform (eg the Cloud) where data is stored, retrieved and processed. Yet AI could help distribute the workload so that edge devices could manage speedy computation at a distance from the data centre.
