Introducing AI@EDGE: A secure and reusable Artificial Intelligence platform for Edge computing in beyond 5G Networks Great progress has been made in recent years in terms of the accuracy and performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled platforms, yet their integration in potentially autonomous decision-making systems or even critical infrastructures requires end-to-end

low-latency transport of data to the compute resource. A new Horizon2020 project, AI@EDGE, will tackle these challenges head on, aiming to build a platform and tools enabling secure and automated roll-out of largescale edge and cloud compute infrastructures, with close to zero-touch of the underlying heterogeneous multi-access edge computing (MEC) resources (network, storage, and compute resources). The AI@EDGE project brings together 19 partners from industry and academia across Europe to focus on six main innovations: 1. AI/machine learning (ML) for closed-loop automation. 2. Privacy-preserving ML for multi-stakeholder environments (automotive). 3. Distributed and decentralized connect-compute platform. 4. Provisioning of AI-enabled applications. 5. Hardware-accelerated serverless platform for AI/ML. 6. Cross-layer, multi-connectivity and disaggregated radio access. AI@EDGE leverages the concept of reusable, secure, and trustworthy AI for network automation and is looking to achieve European Union (EU)-wide impact on industry-relevant aspects in multiple stakeholder environments. The efficacy of the AI@EDGE platform will be demonstrated through four real-life use cases from the following domains:

ACCORDION webinar series on cloud and edge computing
With edge computing gaining momentum, this series of webinars from the ACCORDION (Adaptive edge/cloud compute and network to support nextgen applications) project offers timely insights into how to fully exploit the edge and cloud paradigms. Webinars take place on the second Thursday of the month, and recordings from previous editions can be found on the ACCORDION YouTube channel.
