What is Edge AI? 

Let's discuss this by going over some example let's take an example of autonomous car when the car is going it needs to detect objects. So which cars are passing by if there is a truck in front of it etcand the object detection is a classical leap learning task.

 So what cars will do is first like the car manufacturer will train the object detection model in their cloud server using GPUs TPs and so on and once those models are trained they will export to a file and they will copy the file locally on the car so when car is driving when it wants to do object detection it can do that using a locally saved model on the car itself because while it is driving and if it tries to make a call in 

What is Edge AI? 

Let's say Amazon cloud and if there is a network delay it could be a problem so you need real-time performance and that's why your train model is on the device itself and that is called AJI it's just a high-five word that they have given otherwise AJI is basically you are performing your ml task on a local device and that's it.

Let's take an example of a factory where you have an iot sensor it is monitoring the build production line build and detecting if the product on a product line has a defect or not. Again the device will do the defect detection the object detection locally you know it will not go to the cloud because again there might be a delay and the product will pass the the assembly line belt. So it's very important you get a fast performance and for that reason you will use AJI. 

AJI means the ml task will be done locally on the device now it can be also the case that you know typical in a factory setting you might have an edge network like a local network of all IoT sensors and a server so you might use maybe local network for performing your ML task if doing it on device itself is too much but you will not go all the way to google cloud or Amazon cloud basically

That's the idea you try to perform your ML task as close to the device as possible and that's hai it's a simple concept they have just given this fancy name to it. jets on nano is one of the age Ai hardware you know it comes with the microprocessor and AI chip which can help you do the ML task faster there are many other such devices but NVidia jet son nano is one of such device i hope that clarifies your concepts around AI if you have any question please post in a comment below.
