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).

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...

What's the difference between two-step verification and 2FA?

  The two terms, two-step verification, and two-factor authentication are synonymous, though the former is now being used more widely by the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Apple as it better conveys how the actual authentication process works. In the past, two-step verification was used to describe processes that used the same authentication factors, while two-factor authentication described processes that involved different factors, such as entering a password on a website and receiving a numerical code on a mobile device. Today, the two terms are both used to describe authentication that involves a secondary factor that is different from the first. Authentication is a vital element of access control and data security because users can be assigned access rights and be authorized to perform certain actions only after successful authentication is performed. The ways in which someone can be authenticated fall into three categories based on what is known ...

Black Swan Event

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...
