Researchers at MIT have created a new method that can speed up a privacy-preserving AI training technique by approximately 81 percent. This development allows a broader range of edge devices, like sensors and smartwatches, to use more accurate AI models while maintaining user data privacy. The team enhanced the efficiency of federated learning, which is…
