Edge AI is your next competitive advantage: highlights from Seva Vayner’s webinar
- September 11, 2025
- 2 min read
Edge AI isn’t just a technical milestone. It’s a strategic lever for businesses aiming to gain a competitive advantage with AI.
As AI deployments grow more complex and more global, central cloud infrastructure is hitting real-world limits: compliance barriers, latency bottlenecks, and runaway operational costs. The question for businesses isn’t whether they’ll adopt edge AI, but how soon.
In a recent webinar with Mobile World Live, Seva Vayner, Gcore’s Product Director of Edge Cloud and AI, made the business case for edge inference as a competitive differentiator. He outlined what it takes to stay ahead in a world where speed, locality, and control define AI success.
Scroll on to watch Seva explain why your infrastructure choices now shape your market position later.
Location is everything: edge over cloud
AI is no longer something globally operating businesses can afford to run from a central location. Regional regulations and growing user expectations mean models must be served as close to the user as possible. This reduces latency, but perhaps more importantly is essential for compliance with local laws.
Edge AI also keeps costs down by avoiding costly international traffic routes. When your users are global but your infrastructure isn’t, every request becomes an expensive, high-latency journey across the internet.
Edge inference solves three problems at once in an increasingly regionally fragmented AI landscape:
- Keeps compute near users for low latency
- Cuts down on international transit for reduced costs
- Helps companies stay compliant with local laws
Private edge: control over convenience
Many businesses started their AI journey by experimenting with public APIs like OpenAI’s. But as companies and their AI use cases mature, that’s not good enough anymore. They need full control over data residency, model access, and deployment architecture, especially in regulated industries or high-sensitivity environments.
That’s where private edge deployments come in. Instead of relying on public endpoints and shared infrastructure, organizations can fully isolate their AI environments, keeping data secure and models proprietary.
This approach is ideal for healthcare, finance, government, and any sector where data sovereignty and operational security are critical.
Optimizing edge AI: precision over power
Deploying AI at the edge requires right-sizing your infrastructure for the models and tasks at hand. That’s both technically smarter and far more cost-effective than throwing maximum power and size at every use case.
Making smart trade-offs allows businesses to scale edge AI sustainably by using the right hardware for each use case.
AI at the edge helps businesses deliver the experience without the excess. With the control that the edge brings, hardware costs can be cut by using exactly what each device or location requires, reducing financial waste.
Final takeaway
As Seva put it, AI infrastructure decisions are no longer just financial; they’re part of serious business strategy. From regulatory compliance to operational cost to long-term scalability, edge inference is already a necessity for businesses that plan to serve AI at scale and get ahead in the market.

How AI-enhanced content moderation is powering safe and compliant streaming
As streaming experiences a global boom across platforms, regions, and industries, providers face a growing challenge: how to deliver safe, respectful, and compliant content delivery at scale. Viewer expectations have never been higher, likewise the regulatory demands and reputational risks.Live content in particular leaves little room for error. A single offensive comment, inappropriate image, or misinformation segment can cause long-term damage in seconds.Moderation has always been part of the streaming conversation, but tools and strategies are evolving rapidly. AI-powered content moderation is helping providers meet their safety obligations while preserving viewer experience and platform performance.In this article, we explore how AI content moderation works, where it delivers value, and why streaming platforms are adopting it to stay ahead of both audience expectations and regulatory pressures.Real-time problems require real-time solutionsHuman moderators can provide accuracy and context, but they can’t match the scale or speed of modern streaming environments. Live streams often involve thousands of viewers interacting at once, with content being generated every second through audio, video, chat, or on-screen graphics.Manual review systems struggle to keep up with this pace. In some cases, content can go viral before it is flagged, like deepfakes that circulated on Facebook leading up to the 2025 Canadian election. In others, delays in moderation result in regulatory penalties or customer churn, like X’s 2025 fine under the EU Digital Services Act for shortcomings in content moderation and algorithm transparency. This has created a demand for scalable solutions that act instantly, with minimal human intervention.AI-enhanced content moderation platforms address this gap. These systems are trained to identify and filter harmful or non-compliant material as it is being streamed or uploaded. They operate across multiple modalities—video frames, audio tracks, text inputs—and can flag or remove content within milliseconds of detection. The result is a safer environment for end users.How AI moderation systems workModern AI moderation platforms are powered by machine learning algorithms trained on extensive datasets. These datasets include a wide variety of content types, languages, accents, dialects, and contexts. By analyzing this data, the system learns to identify content that violates platform policies or legal regulations.The process typically involves three stages:Input capture: The system monitors live or uploaded content across audio, video, and text layers.Pattern recognition: It uses models to identify offensive content, including nudity, violence, hate speech, misinformation, or abusive language.Contextual decision-making: Based on confidence thresholds and platform rules, the system flags, blocks, or escalates the content for review.This process is continuous and self-improving. As the system receives more inputs and feedback, it adapts to new forms of expression, regional trends, and platform-specific norms.What makes this especially valuable for streaming platforms is its low latency. Content can be flagged and removed in real time, often before viewers even notice. This is critical in high-stakes environments like esports, corporate webinars, or public broadcasts.Multi-language moderation and global streamingStreaming audiences today are truly global. Content crosses borders faster than ever, but moderation standards and cultural norms do not. What’s considered acceptable in one region may be flagged as offensive in another. A word that is considered inappropriate in one language might be completely neutral in another. A piece of nudity in an educational context may be acceptable, while the same image in another setting may not be. Without the ability to understand nuance, AI systems risk either over-filtering or letting harmful content through.That’s why high-quality moderation platforms are designed to incorporate context into their models. This includes:Understanding tone, not just keywordsRecognizing culturally specific gestures or idiomsAdapting to evolving slang or coded languageApplying different standards depending on content type or target audienceThis enables more accurate detection of harmful material and avoids false positives caused by mistranslation.Training AI models for multi-language support involves:Gathering large, representative datasets in each languageTeaching the model to detect content-specific risks (e.g., slurs or threats) in the right cultural contextContinuously updating the model as language evolvesThis capability is especially important for platforms that operate in multiple markets or support user-generated content. It enables a more respectful experience for global audiences while providing consistent enforcement of safety standards.Use cases across the streaming ecosystemAI moderation isn’t just a concern for social platforms. It plays a growing role in nearly every streaming vertical, including the following:Live sports: Real-time content scanning helps block offensive chants, gestures, or pitch-side incidents before they reach a wide audience. Fast filtering protects the viewer experience and helps meet broadcast standards.Esports: With millions of viewers and high emotional stakes, esports platforms rely on AI to remove hate speech and adult content from chat, visuals, and commentary. This creates a more inclusive environment for fans and sponsors alike.Corporate live events: From earnings calls to virtual town halls, organizations use AI moderation to help ensure compliance with internal communication guidelines and protect their reputation.Online learning: EdTech platforms use AI to keep classrooms safe and focused. Moderation helps filter distractions, harassment, and inappropriate material in both live and recorded sessions.On-demand entertainment: Even outside of live broadcasts, moderation helps streaming providers meet content standards and licensing obligations across global markets. It also ensures user-submitted content (like comments or video uploads) meets platform guidelines.In each case, the shared goal is to provide a safe and trusted streaming environment for users, advertisers, and creators.Balancing automation with human oversightAI moderation is a powerful tool, but it shouldn’t be the only one. The best systems combine automation with clear review workflows, configurable thresholds, and human input.False positives and edge cases are inevitable. Giving moderators the ability to review, override, or explain decisions is important for both quality control and user trust.Likewise, giving users a way to appeal moderation decisions or report issues ensures that moderation doesn’t become a black box. Transparency and user empowerment are increasingly seen as part of good platform governance.Looking ahead: what’s next for AI moderationAs streaming becomes more interactive and immersive, moderation will need to evolve. AI systems will be expected to handle not only traditional video and chat, but also spatial audio, avatars, and real-time user inputs in virtual environments.We can also expect increased demand for:Personalization, where viewers can set their own content preferencesIntegration with platform APIs for programmatic content governanceCross-platform consistency to support syndicated content across partnersAs these changes unfold, AI moderation will remain central to the success of modern streaming. Platforms that adopt scalable, adaptive moderation systems now will be better positioned to meet the next generation of content challenges without compromising on speed, safety, or user experience.Keep your streaming content safe and compliant with GcoreGcore Video Streaming offers AI Content Moderation that satisfies today’s digital safety concerns while streamlining the human moderation process.To explore how Gcore AI Content Moderation can transform your digital platform, we invite you to contact our streaming team for a demonstration.
