What is edge AI?

In short

Edge AI is running AI models directly on local devices, such as phones, cameras, or sensors, rather than sending data to a remote server. Processing on the device means faster responses, lower bandwidth use, and better privacy because data need not leave it. It is used where speed or connectivity matters, for example in smart cameras, wearables, and factory equipment.
