Abstract : The new paradigm of AI at the Edge and its synergy with Cloud Computing to combine the advantages of local data processing and analysis with the scalability and resources offered by cloud systems is explained in this paper. AI capabilities deployed at the Edge enable real-time decision-making, reduced latency, and improved efficiency across various applications including healthcare, smart cities, industrial automation, and autonomous vehicles. Organizations can achieve maximum computational power and network bandwidth optimization and system performance enhancement through the combined strengths of Edge Computing and Cloud Computing. The advancement comes with security challenges and data privacy risks and requirements for effortless Edge-Cloud system integration. This paper conducts a thorough analysis of AI at the Edge with Cloud-Edge synergy use cases and advantages and limitations and future trends to explain the transformative potential of this relationship in artificial intelligence and computing.

Keywords : Edge Computing, Cloud Computing, AI Applications, Real-Time Processing, Data Privacy, and System Performance, Shedding Light on the Transformative Potential of this Symbiotic Relationship.
