On-Device AI

Definitions

1. AI processing that runs directly on a user's device rather than entirely in centralized cloud infrastructure. On-device AI can improve latency, privacy, and offline support, though it is constrained by local hardware limits.

   In plain English: AI that runs directly on a phone, laptop, or other local device.

   Example: "They used on-device AI for voice wake-word detection so audio did not need to be streamed continuously to remote servers."
