Intelligence of Things: Opportunities & Challenges

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising technology that can connect and communicate virtual and physical objects globally. It allows billions of devices to be connected and communicate with each other to share information that creates new application and services. These services result in improving our quality of life. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is applied in many fields of science. It aims to understand techniques that require an intelligent action and solve complex problems. Integrating IoT with AI will create a powerful technology that can solve many of IoT problems that relate to the huge amount of data created by different IoT devices. With the huge analytic capabilities of AI, IoT data can be analysed efficiently to extract meaningful information. In addition, AI can help IoT devices to interact with humans and other objects intelligently and make autonomous decisions. This paper provides an overview of the integration of the IoT with AI by highlighting the integration benefits and opportunities of AI in different IoT applications. Challenges standing in the way of successful convergence of IoT with AI are also discussed. We can conclude that the integration of AI with IoT will generate a robust technology that can help companies to avoid unplanned downtime, increase operating efficiency, and enable new IoT applications and services.
