What is Edge AI?
Last Updated: Mar 11, 2025
Edge AI frequently uses Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including cameras, data sources, and sensors, to collect and analyze data out in the real world. With the ability to collect and process data nearly instantaneously, edge AI vastly expands an organization’s capabilities, enabling an array of AI-based applications and experiences at the edge. From a chatbot running on a bank kiosk, to cars with automated lane assist and collision avoidance capabilities, to near-real-time alerting of safety hazards or incidents on city streets or the plant floor, the use cases for edge AI across industries are quite expansive.
