Abstract:
The chapter titled “AI at the Edge: Decentralized Intelligence for a Smart World” explores the paradigm shift in artificial intelligence (AI) deployment, emphasizing the transition from centralized cloud-based systems to decentralized intelligence at the edge. The introduction sets the stage by outlining the growing significance of edge computing in enabling real-time data processing and decision-making, fostering a more responsive and efficient global landscape. The chapter delves into the fundamentals of edge computing, elucidating how it brings computational capabilities and data storage closer to the source of information. Emphasis is placed on the advantages of edge computing, including reduced latency, increased bandwidth efficiency, and enhanced privacy, setting the foundation for the subsequent exploration of decentralized AI. Examining the decentralized nature of AI at the edge, the chapter illuminates how the distribution of AI capabilities across diverse devices and systems contributes to more efficient and responsive applications. Practical applications across various industries are explored, showcasing the adaptability of decentralized intelligence in contexts such as smart cities, healthcare, and manufacturing.
