1. A method, performed by a server, of streaming image content, the method comprising:
obtaining one or more frames of the image content which is currently being executed by an electronic device;
identifying a plurality of user inputs that are inputtable by a user, corresponding to the one or more frames;
generating a plurality of prediction frame sets respectively corresponding to the plurality of user inputs, wherein each prediction frame set of the plurality of prediction frame sets includes a plurality of prediction frames to be displayed after the one or more frames, and the plurality of prediction frames are generated using at least one artificial intelligence model;
downscaling the plurality of prediction frame sets;
obtaining metadata from the one or more frames and the downscaled plurality of prediction frame sets;
generating streaming data of the image content to be provided to the electronic device, based on at least one of the downscaled plurality of prediction frame sets or the metadata; and
transmitting the generated streaming data to the electronic device.
