Provided are an artificial intelligence (AI) system simulating a function of a human brain, such as cognition and judgment, using a machine learning algorithm, such as deep learning, and an application thereof. Also, provided is a method, performed by an electronic apparatus, of refining an artificial intelligence (AI) model, the method including: detecting information about a context of an electronic apparatus used to refine a local model stored in the electronic apparatus being changed; determining a gradient for refining the local model based on the changed information about the context; refining the local model based on the determined gradient; transmitting the gradient to a server; receiving, from the server, information about a global model refined based on the gradient; and refining the local model based on the received information.
