AI Edge

Definitions

AI inference or processing performed close to where data is generated or consumed, such as on devices, local gateways, or edge servers rather than only in centralized cloud infrastructure. AI at the edge can reduce latency, bandwidth use, and some privacy exposure.
In plain English: Running AI near the user or device instead of only in a central cloud.
Example: "They ran wake-word detection on the AI edge device so audio did not need to be streamed continuously to the cloud."
