Microsoft's security team makes a point about edge AI generally, meaning models that run on gear the customer owns rather than only in a provider's cloud: when the running model, the company's proprietary know-how, and customer data all sit on the customer's own machines, the job of vetting that whole environment before trusting it with sensitive material lands on the owner, not the cloud provider Microsoft Security Blog.

Edge AI moves model execution, intellectual property, customer data, and system authority into infrastructure owned and operated by the customer, which changes who must verify the stack before sensitive assets are released.
