Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things

Artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) is the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and the internet of things (IoT) infrastructure. AIoT's goal is to create more efficient IoT operations, improve human-machine interactions and enhance data management and analytics. AI is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems, and is typically used in natural language processing, speech recognition and machine vision. IoT is a system of connected devices, mechanical and digital machines, or objects with unique identifiers with the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. A thing in IoT can be a person's heart monitor implant, an automobile with built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low or any other object that can be assigned an IP address and transfer data over a network. In AIoT devices, AI is embedded into infrastructure components, such as programs and chipsets, which are all connected using IoT networks.
