As generative AI technology rapidly advances, interest in 'On-Device AI' is also growing. On-Device AI refers to AI technology that performs data computation directly on end devices, such as smartphones or tablets, without relying on central data centers or clouds. This technology can address the drawbacks of cloud-based AI, such as excessive power consumption, privacy risks, and latency issues. It is also known as 'Edge AI' because it operates on the edge of the network, without requiring an internet connection.
