Edge AI: Where real-world data drives real-time intelligence
Reinvention begins at the Edge. The Edge is where people, systems, and physical environments intersect—where real-world decisions are made in real time.
As advanced AI moves closer to where data is created, the Edge becomes its execution layer. This is where physical and industrial AI sense conditions, interpret signals, and act—running locally to turn real-world data into fast, informed outcomes exactly where they matter.
