### Source excerpt

Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the device's location. Edge Artificial Intelligence (edge-AI) is an exciting development within edge computing because it allows traditional technologies to run more efficiently, with higher performance and less power. Trained neural networks are used to make inferences on small devices.

### Source excerpt

Artificial intelligence transforms the way computers interact with the real world. Decisions are carried by getting data from Tiny low-powered devices and sensors into the cloud. Connectivity, high cost and data privacy are some of the demerits of this method. Edge artificial intelligence is another way to process the data right on the physical device without sending data back and forth improving the latency and security and reducing the bandwidth and power.
