Frequently asked questions

What are telemetry metrics like latency, FPS and battery consumption in the context of Edge AI?

Telemetry: latency, FPS, battery/thermal, confidence; redaction for privacy.

Can you explain the purpose of shadow mode on-device when deploying new models?

Shadow mode on-device for new models before activation allows testing and refinement without impacting live performance.

What security measures are involved in Edge AI deployments, specifically regarding boot processes and data storage?

Secure boot, code signing, encrypted storage protect against unauthorized access and ensure the integrity of deployed models and sensitive data.

How does data minimization contribute to the privacy and security of Edge AI systems?

Data minimization; no raw PII off-device; on-device redaction reduces the amount of personal information processed and stored, minimizing potential risks.
