Introduction to Generative AI and Edge Computing

Generative AI refers to those algorithms that have the ability to create new content-image, text, music, or whatsoever-based on the patterns the algorithm learns from existing data. This technology has started to gain remarkable attention in recent times for its applications across different industries. On the other hand, edge computing is a form of distributed computing wherein data is processed close to its origin rather than relying on a centralized cloud server for processing exclusively. The convergence of generative AI and edge computing is revolutionizing how organizations are taking advantage of data and making real-time decisions. The Need for Real-Time Processing Real-time data processing is among the major reasons generative AI will be deployed at the edge, as illustrated in figure 1. Most applications require instant reactions and decisions, per input data. In the event of autonomous vehicles, for instance, generative AI would create synthetic scenarios in real time that ...
