Streaming Data Pipelines for AI at the Edge: Architecting for Real-Time Intelligence
Sai Prasad Veluru · International Journal of Artificial Intelligence Data Science and Machine Learning · 2022
In the fast changing technological environment of the present day, the shift from centralized cloud computing to distributed more edge settings is affecting the functioning of AI applications. Edge devices from smart sensors to self-driving cars create enormous volumes of data, so actual time data processing becomes very necessary. The important role of streaming data pipelines in delivering actual time intelligence at the edge helps companies to make more quick & more informed decisions close to the data source. We investigate the growing relevance of edge computing in modern AI systems as well as its function in reducing problems with dependability, bandwidth, and also delay. We provide basic architectural concepts for building scalable, robust pipelines with actual time AI inference and continuous data flow. We underline the key elements of more effective edge AI pipelines: lightweight data processing architectures, interaction with more cloud-native technologies, and guarantee of safe, fault-tolerant operations. From predictive maintenance in industrial IoT to actual time analytics in smart cities, more practical implementations from which to show the clear benefits of these systems showcase This paper serves as a conceptual framework as well as a useful tool for engineers, architects & decision-makers creating the next generation of artificial intelligence systems meant to run at the edge, where context and time are most important
