Edge AI shows great promise given rapid advancements across AI models, hardware, connectivity and silicon. Edge devices enable time-sensitive insights, access to large volumes of dynamic, first-party data, and the ability to change the physical world. But the reality is that many companies get stuck at the POC and Pilot stages of development and struggle to realize and monetize Edge AI products and services. This presentation will walk through 4 realities we’ve seen clients face, providing examples of how we’ve addressed them and our recommendations for others to successfully launch Edge AI at scale.
