Abstract: Artificial intelligence will play a key role in every service or application we as humans will interact with in the coming years. Such applications have run so far in massive datacenters where significant computational resources are available. These applications leave the user terminals in charge of doing just visualization and User Interface tasks. At the same time new types of applications like xR require lower latency and higher bitrates or even improved privacy. By providing computational resources very close to the end users, edge computing can provide the ideal platform to satisfy the requirements of modern applications and services. Nevertheless, in order to be successful, edge computing needs to, on the one hand, align with current cloud-native trends, and, on the other hand, become aware of the requirements of AI-enabled applications. The panel aims at addressing the following questions:

• What is edge computing?
• Which role does AI play in edge computing?
• Which are the challenges to manage a vastly distributed edge computing platform?
• Is edge computing green?
• Which is the interplay between slicing and edge computing?
• How is the industry embracing edge computing?
• Are over the top providers a threat or an opportunity for operators?
• Are AI and edge computing the right answer for resource constrained networks, e.g. cellular?
• Which are the gaps in NFV and SDN open source frameworks for AI and edge computing?
