Edge AI puts inference where the video is created: on the camera, the phone, or a small server in the same building. It avoids the round-trip to the cloud, which lowers delay, keeps footage local for privacy, and works when the network is poor.
Definition
Running models on or near the device that captures video — a camera, phone, or on-site box — instead of a distant data centre, to cut latency and bandwidth.
