Edge artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t just our future; it’s our present. This technology processes data directly on electronic devices instead of in the cloud, keeping our world moving.

“Cloud-based AI has several limitations,” said Patrick Zeng, general manager of building automation at TI. “If you use a central processor to implement a simple function such as proximity or keyword detection, the system’s latency and power consumption becomes less efficient. In cases like this, edge AI has a huge advantage.”
