Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT)


Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance an Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. An important goal of AIoT is to transform operational data into information that can be used to make decisions in real time.
AIoT technologies have the ability to capture streaming data, determine valuable attributes and immediately make a decision without requiring human intervention. Currently, AIoT can support freestanding hardware components such as Google Home, as well as embedded hardware components such as AI chipsets. Application programming interfaces (APIs) can be used to extend interoperability between components at the device level, software level or platform level.

While the concept of AIoT is still relatively new, real possibilities exist for AI to improve industry verticals for industrial, consumer, business-to-business (B2B) and service sectors. As applications for AI technologies grow, the unstructured data generated from IoT-supported systems is expected to increase in value correspondingly and the ability to use streaming data to make data-driven decisions will add a new dimension to service logic. In some cases, experts predict, the data itself will become the service because of its ability to provide actionable information.

In addition to becoming a viable solution for solving existing operational problems, AIoT is also expected to reduce supply chain risk, which includes expenses associated with human capital management (HCM). AIoT is also expected to create new delivery models such as IoT Data as a Service (IoTDaaS).

Black swan

A  black swan event  is an incident that occurs randomly and unexpectedly and has wide-spread ramifications. The event is usually followed with reflection and a flawed rationalization that it was inevitable. The phrase illustrates the frailty of inductive reasoning and the danger of making sweeping generalizations from limited observations. The term came from the idea that if a man saw a thousand swans and they were all white, he might logically conclude that all swans are white. The flaw in his logic is that even when the premises are true, the conclusion can still be false. In other words, just because the man has never seen a black swan, it does not mean they do not exist. As Dutch explorers discovered in 1697, black swans are simply outliers -- rare birds, unknown to Europeans until Willem de Vlamingh and his crew visited Australia. Statistician Nassim Nicholas Taleb uses the phrase black swan as a metaphor for how humans deal with unpredictable events in his 2007...

A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a computer chip that performs rapid mathematical calculations, primarily for the purpose of rendering images. A GPU may be found integrated with a central processing unit (CPU) on the same circuit, on a graphics card or in the motherboard of a personal computer or server. In the early days of computing, the CPU performed these calculations. As more graphics-intensive applications such as AutoCAD were developed; however, their demands put strain on the CPU and degraded performance. GPUs came about as a way to offload those tasks from CPUs, freeing up their processing power. NVIDIA, AMD, Intel and ARM are some of the major players in the GPU market. GPU vs. CPU A graphics processing unit is able to render images more quickly than a central processing unit because of its parallel processing architecture, which allows it to perform multiple calculations at the same time. A single CPU does not have this capability, although multi...

6G (sixth-generation wireless)

6G (sixth-generation wireless) is the successor to 5G cellular technology. 6G networks will be able to use higher frequencies than 5G networks and provide substantially higher capacity and much lower latency. One of the goals of the 6G Internet will be to support one micro-second latency communications, representing 1,000 times faster -- or 1/1000th the latency -- than one millisecond throughput. The 6G technology market is expected to facilitate large improvements in the areas of imaging, presence technology and location awareness. Working in conjunction with AI, the computational infrastructure of 6G will be able to autonomously determine the best location for computing to occur; this includes decisions about data storage, processing and sharing.  Advantages of 6G over 5G 6G is expected to support 1 terabyte per second (Tbps) speeds. This level of capacity and latency will be unprecedented and wi...
