Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) become more commonplace

in #dxchain6 years ago

As artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) become more commonplace, it is both useful and important to understand how both of these important tendencies work together to benefit specialists and the ordinary person alike. For starters, IoT produces a tremendous amount of data. That data can be recorded (enter: big data) and examined. But it is not realistic to do this tracking by human effort, given the sheer volume of data. AI will serve an important role in monitoring -- going through this mountain of IoT data and distilling it into actionable themes. Below are a few examples of how AI and IoT can be strongly synergistic in enhancing outcomes across areas like power, healthcare, system design, and safety. For a good example of how AI can control and unite with IoT for impressive results, consider your home thermostat. Assuming it is connected and therefore an IoT apparatus, what happens if it is an exceptionally hot day and the local electricity utility is experiencing brownouts? Traditionally, the system would overload, and then the staff of the utility would have to spend time and money to deal with angry customers to restore service. In an IoT world, the utility staff can see how many devices are connected to the system, and then react to avert a brownout by, as an example, turning everyone's thermostat up three degrees.

Or the AI could be more sophisticated and proactively turn thermostats up three levels at houses and non-essential businesses, while maintaining the thermostats secure at temperature-sensitive facilities such as hospitals and refrigerated warehouses.

However, with the inclusion of AI, we have an even better outcome which can be prescriptive or proactive.
While staying cool is a luxury, staying alive is not. Though Fitbit watches and Apple Watches are nice to have, the widespread adoption of wearable sensors means that doctors and nurses can provide better health care than ever before. As our wearables become ever more sophisticated, instead of just reading your pulse and speed when you run, they'll be able to send an alert to your doctor if they detect that you might be having a heart attack. So IoT is a good start.

An AI control layer could take this to another level. Envision technology that receives that alert, then finds and paths the closest ambulance for you while notifying the hospital and your physician. It then starts and drives your doctor's autonomous car (an IoT apparatus itself), delivering him or her to the hospital as fast as possible. So adding AI to IoT could conserve the essential minutes to keep you alive. A study published earlier this year indicates that AI is already potentially even better than doctors at forecasting that heart attack before it occurs. Pretty cool, huh?

AI will also be able to assist IoT in two important under the hood Regions: system design and security. The IoT includes everything from very basic sensors to sophisticated devices that have basic intelligence programmed in. At this stage, individuals make decisions about how smart to create each layer of IoT. As AI develops, however, it is going to interpret the treasure trove of information coming out of IoT devices and identify where better detectors could provide additional insights that would help us make better decisions.

Conversely, AI can prevent overbuilding the system by Understanding where additional data doesn't lead to better results. In other words, we can save money by using more basic IoT sensors. And investing in more useful tools is good, right?

The foundation of AI is ample storage and compute power that is where Dxchain as a protocol comes into play to properly deploy this.

Machine learning is already beginning to be used to predict safe IoT device behavior and help preserve cyber security. This trend will probably increase. Of course, those attempting to penetrate IoT systems can also use AI to analyze weaknesses and exploit them in many locations, AI is a double-edged sword.
AI and IoT can provide some pretty amazing benefits to people and the world when we use them sagely. 1 thing I can do this AI and IoT can't Do is stay optimistic, and hope that we continue to focus on improving our Health, energy usage, and safety in an integral world.
