## Summary

Maria Gorlatova, a research scholar at Princeton University, discusses the shift from centralized cloud computing to 'fog' and 'edge' computing architectures. She explains how the OpenFog Consortium is standardizing these distributed systems to handle the data avalanche from IoT devices, improve security through local processing, and enable low-latency applications like augmented reality and autonomous driving. Gorlatova highlights the role of federated learning in preserving privacy and the convergence of cloud and edge capabilities provided by major tech companies.
