The premise
Edge AI fits specific use cases (latency, privacy, offline); over-applying it wastes engineering for use cases better served by cloud.
What AI does well here
- Use edge for latency-sensitive (no network round-trip) use cases
- Use edge for privacy-sensitive (data stays local) use cases
- Use edge for offline-capable applications
- Plan for the engineering complexity of cross-platform support
What AI cannot do
- Get cloud-AI capability on small devices
- Eliminate the engineering complexity of edge deployment
- Predict edge hardware capability evolution
