Edge AI represents a novel computing paradigm designed to facilitate local data storage and processing, with AI algorithms enabling data treatment directly at the edge of the network. This approach aims to bring intelligence to the end-devices, facilitating real-time decision-making and empowering devices to operate autonomously, reducing reliance on external cloud services. Two Horizon Europe projects - SmartEdge and  AIoTwin -  are jointly organizing the “Edge AI meets Swarm Intelligence” workshop to disseminate on-going research outcomes not only of these two projects, but also of related projects.
