The benefits of the integration of AI and edge in the eight reviewed domains.

Domain	Benefits of AI-Edge
Smart healthcare	Reduces latency and provides location-aware and real-time healthcare services.
Smart grid	Provides effective distribution and forecasting of energy
Smart agriculture	Provides powerful monitoring systems to help speed up the diagnosis and analysis of plants’ health conditions. Moreover, it helps to solve the problem of connectivity, monitor the statutes of the machine, and identify the fault in the machine in a timely manner
Smart environment	Improves data quality, reduces computational modeling complexity, and improves the mining efficiency of ocean big data. For air-quality monitoring, considering regional characteristics when distributing various site-monitoring models enhances the performance of monitoring
Security and privacy	Increases security and privacy by adding noise and encryption to data, and distinguishing legitimate edge nodes from malicious nodes and attackers
Smart industry	Provides immediate services to customers with minimal delays and errors; it also helps in detecting the credit risks of legitimate customers and detecting and preventing fraudulent activity
Smart transportation	Manages real-time parking, traffic flow prediction, and supports intelligent mobility decisions
Smart education	Improves online and real-time course management services, addresses poor portability of the experience, and improves distance learning
