Dr. Inessa Seifert is Co-Chair of the Working Group „AI at the Edge“ at EPoSS. Here she answers three questions about this technology.
What is Edge AI and what role does it play with regard to smart systems?
By definition, edge computing infrastructure is located in a local data centre or on a portable device, not remotely in the cloud. The concept of edge computing can only be understood in the context of the cloud. Cloud-edge-IoT systems are complex infrastructures where data and information processing takes place not only in the cloud, but also on local devices.
