Why is Edge AI Important?
Edge AI and edge computing devices help many industries become more efficient and safer by improving accuracy and reducing human error through automation. As described by MarketsandMarkets, “Edge AI can significantly improve surveillance and monitoring while reducing the amount of raw data that’s transmitted to the cloud leading to the adoption of edge AI for video surveillance. With the advent of edge AI, ML intelligent camera systems can capture raw data, process, and analyze it using facial recognition to identify persons of interest and suspicious activities that may be occurring directly at the edge.”
We now see industries across the board tapping the potential of these edge computing devices to improve day-to-day life for everyone. Early adopters of edge AI and edge computing technologies include industries such as transportation/driverless vehicles, education, medical/healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing/factories, retail/shopping and video surveillance.
