Distributed AI\nunlocks siloed data and enables collaborative learning across devices while keeping data local.\nHowever\, it faces challenges from limited and heterogeneous edge resources (data\, computation\nand connectivity)\, the need to learn cont inually from streaming data\, and new security and privacy\nthreats. This talk gives an overview of our research on making distributed and federated AI both\nefficient and trustworthy\, spanning resource-efficient and cont inual federated learning\,\nhyperdimensional computing\, and adversarial r obustness and privacy. It also highlights our open-\nsource tools: OpenFL\ , MART\, LLMart and ATLAS.
