Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the Internet of Things (IoT) devices has led to the emergence of Edge AI, a transformative solution that enables data processing directly on the IoT devices or "at the edge" of the network. This paper explores the benefits of Edge AI, emphasizing reduced latency, bandwidth conservation, enhanced privacy, and faster decision-making. Despite its advantages, challenges like resource constraints on IoT devices persist. By examining the practical implications of Edge AI in sectors like healthcare and urban development, this study underscores the paradigm shift towards more efficient, secure, and responsive technological ecosystems.
