Next-Generation Computer Engineering: Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Edge Computing, and Secure Architectures

Abstract

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Edge Computing, and Secure Architectures as the foundational components of next-generation computer engineering is the subject of this paper. The integration of intelligent processing, low-latency computation, and robust security measures has become essential as digital systems become increasingly complex and interconnected. In order to propose a unified framework for their integration, this research investigates the theoretical foundations, practical implementations, and potential for the future of these technologies. The findings indicate that such synergy improves security, responsiveness, and performance in a variety of application domains, including autonomous systems, smart cities, and healthcare.
