Local AI vs. Cloud AI: The Decisive Difference
Why local AI solutions are often the better choice for German companies
| Aspect | Local AI Benefits | Cloud AI Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Data Security & GDPR | Full control over sensitive data, processing within your own company, minimizes risk of data breaches, facilitates GDPR compliance. | Data is transmitted to external providers. Can also be privacy-compliant, but with higher compliance requirements. |
| Control & Autonomy | Independence from third-party providers, full control over data and models, flexible adaptation to individual needs. | Dependency on external providers, use of predefined APIs and models. |
| Costs | High initial investments (100,000-500,000 EUR), potentially lower ongoing operating costs. | Lower entry costs, pay-as-you-go model, but ongoing fees and potentially high total costs with high usage. |
| Latency | Low latency times as data is processed on-site, ideal for real-time applications. | Higher latency due to data transmission to the cloud, dependent on network connection. |
