Abstract
Edge computing increases energy
efficiency, reduces latency, and provides context awareness
for compute-intensive applications far from data centers,
increasing the viability of technologies such as autonomous
transport and augmented and virtual reality. The emerging
technologies curation series aims to capture and share
Korea’s experience and lessons learned in regard to
exploration and adoption of emerging technologies like
blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), edge-computing,
internet of things (IoT), 5G, etc. AI edge computing, the
second of the series, provides a short description of edge
computing and its potential for solving development
challenges and key highlights of Korea’s experiences. The
Korea edge computing note is a collaboration effort of the
World Bank (WB) Korea country office, the ITS Technology and
Innovation Lab and Unit, the Digital Development (DD) Global
Practice, and the Finance, Competitiveness and Innovation
(FCI) Global Practice.
