"Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints have, until very recently, been focused on acquiring raw sensor data and feeding the associated data back towards the “core” of the network for processing. The network’s core data processing resources, whether local or cloud connected, have traditionally been the focus for analyzing the data to identify meaningful events and making decisions based upon the results. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become more prominent for sensor data analysis, these same centralized processing resources would seem to be the obvious place for this processing to be implemented."
