How is Artificial Intelligence of Things dominant over Internet of Things?

Have you ever wondered how the World is talking about self-driving cars and yet no one mentions if a new “technology” is being used for it?

Well, it’s because there was never the need for it.

Self-driving cars are just a result of Artificial Intelligence being properly used with the Internet of Things and this blend has way more to offer than we can think of.

What is Artificial Intelligence of Things and How it works?

Artificial Intelligence in itself is so diverse that we haven’t been able to come even close enough to the perfect AI so far.

And yet, its diversity is what gives it the flexibility to be used with nearly any other technology in the world. 

This is where the Internet of Things plays its part as the provider of cutting-edge technology that can be accessed from anywhere with just the click of a few buttons.

Now imagine assigning even the task of clicking the proper buttons to someone(or rather something) else. Isn’t that the most luxurious thing?

It’s like performing the same tasks but by replacing the human mind with an artificial one while retaining the efficiency of the work.

This is the role of Artificial Intelligence(AI) in the Internet of Things(IoT) or as some call it, the Artificial Intelligence of Things(AIoT). 

Benefits of AI-enabled IoT (AIOT)

The Internet of Things has climbed up the ladders to become one of the fastest-growing technical sectors that has endless potential but it demands fairly high manual labor as well as maintenance costs.

This is where AI comes into play and helps turn these disadvantages into potentially high-paying benefits.

1. Better risk prediction and management

Companies use AI programs to keep a check on their financial stability as well as cyber threats.

These programs also help these businesses find efficient solutions to these problems and ensure a smooth transition from any type of risk to stable growth.

2. Automatic inspection and easier maintenance

IoT devices are prone to equipment failures and require timely maintenance. Artificial Intelligence makes this much easier and cost-efficient. 

Such devices are programmed to keep a track of the last maintenance and automatically contact the maintenance team at the right time.

In case of failures, the device is shut down, thus ensuring no further damage to any part. 

3. Creating new and advanced products

Some AI-enabled IoT devices use Natural language Processing(NLP), thus allowing the user to directly communicate with the machine.

This allows faster data processing and allows the machine to understand the processes more comprehensively and suggest its own changes to improve the product. 

What is Humanity gaining from AIoT?

Luxury is something that everyone aspires of. When it comes to making machines work for them, Humans leave no stone unturned.

Here are some places where the combination of these disruptive technologies is helping reduce the workload of humans. 

1. Smart Wearables

Wearables like smartwatches and fitness trackers continuously monitor the health-related stats of the user and keep appropriate records for future reference.

In the field of entertainment, wireless headphones, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality have dominated the market by playing an important role in personalizing the user experience.

2. Self-Driving Cars

Artificial Intelligence provides an efficient traffic management system and allows the driver to sit back and enjoy the ride without touching the wheel even once.

Since AI is bound to follow specific commands, Traffic rules violation is prevented, and by interacting with nearby cars through a wireless network, it ensures a safe ride. 

3. Un-manned Delivery Robots

Delivery drones are equipped with on-board AI platforms that allow them to check their surroundings in real-time and make appropriate decisions to ensure timely and safe delivery.

Navigation Sytems are designed to track the drone and provide the shortest possible route with minimum obstacles and clearance from various security services. 

4. Smart Home Appliances

One of the fastest-growing sectors involves the use of AI to monitor the user’s daily routine and create schedules for appliances like smart lights, smart air conditioners, and even a few coffee machines.

The appliance is designed to turn on by itself and perform all the required tasks without asking for the user’s permission, saving both preparation time as well as manual labor.

5. Robots being used in Mass Production

The introduction of AI-enabled Robots in industrial level production has helped reduce accidents, time of production, and manual labor.

These robots can be programmed to produce goods of any scale, ranging from nanoscale electronic components to even automobiles that are several meters tall.

This also reduces the chances of manufacturing defects, thus ensuring high-quality products and enhanced customer satisfaction.

6. Smart Retail Analytics

The new era of Technology with AI at the center of all actions has even changed the way we shop at a store.

IoT-enabled devices such as cameras and sensors are now equipped with AI programs. This is to monitor every customer’s movements and keep a track of the items they pick up to buy. 

In some stores, this data is used to ensure increased staff-productivity.

While others go a step further and charge the customer for any item they walk out of the store with, thus reducing manual labor and time spent at the billing station.

7. Smart Traffic Surveillance

Benefitting from the combination of AI and IoT is not just for personal use.

Even the governments of several countries have started using smarter ways of traffic management.

High-quality cameras are used to detect illegal movement of a vehicle and charge fines without the hassle of pulling the car over. 

Even busses and other public transportation are equipped with AI-enabled navigation systems. These detect the fastest route possible without disrupting the general traffic. 

8. Safer and easier exploration

With the use of miniature drones or robots specially designed to traverse specific terrains, the exploration-industry has reached new heights.

These robots are controlled by AIs and have the ability to map their surroundings. They figure out a safe path all by themselves.

This advancement has proved advantageous in reducing the fatal risk to explorers as well as workers in mines.

Conclusion

Overall, AI’s fusion with IoT has played a major role in guiding humanity to this technological advancement.

In the near future, there might not be even a single electronic device that requires a human’s personal interaction.

All of humanity is striving to achieve this supremacy over machines and hopefully, it will only be for our betterment.
