Edge AI vs Cloud AI: Who Owns Your Data in 2026?
The Rietaviškis project is built on a core assumption: sensitive user data should never leave the device. But is on-device AI (Edge AI) actually ready for production in 2026?
Here is the trade-off most builders ignore:
Cloud AI gives you power and scale — but your data travels to a server you do not control. Edge AI keeps data local — but requires optimised models like Gemini Nano or LiteRT that run on constrained hardware.
For a city-level social learning platform handling accessibility data, disability profiles, and behavioural patterns, the privacy argument is not just ethical — it is a GDPR compliance requirement.
💬 Your question for the group: If you were building a community platform today, would you choose Edge AI or Cloud AI for sensitive user data? What is your biggest concern?
