The IoT represents a unique set of challenges that pose a real threat to its utility as an engine of economic growth. Fortunately, the problems encountered so far are solvable, although it will probably take some time to determine exactly how to handle them and what level of optimization is needed for the multiple IoT services that are certain to arise.
IoT Artificial Intelligence
True, artificial intelligence (AI) will make the IoT run better – eventually. But for the moment, it is still a highly sophisticated technology that has only just started to make the transition from the test bed to production environments. AI’s greatest advantage is that it learns how to operate over time, which means you shouldn’t expect it to start performing miracles right out of the box. In fact, it could be quite a while before machines, and the people who will still need to manage them, will know enough to make a meaningful contribution to the IoT.
