SUBJECT: 500-Word Summary
of Katare, Padihar and Qureshiâs âChallenges in the Integration of Artificial
Intelligence and Internet of Thingsâ
To understand better the challenges
in the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IOT),
it is important to know what these technological terms are. According to the
authors, âInternet of Things (IOT) (âThingâ refers to a device which is
connected to the internet and transfers the device information to other
devices.)â and âArtificial Intelligence (AI) is the intelligence which is not
natural but used by machine in some order based on instructionsâ (Katare,
Padihar and Qureshi, 2018, p.10). IOT, usually located at an early stage of
development due to the limited capacities of its processor, needs an AIâs speed
injection to allow the increase of the capabilities of IOT. Knowing more about IOT
and their applications, AI and its uses cases and their challenges will permit individuals
to comprehend the rapid development of technology.
Internet of Things are
the access to objects with the use of internet. The authors stated, âthe main
goal of development of IOT is to connect the internet with physical world and
the environment with wireless networksâ (Katare, Padihar and Qureshi, 2018,
p.10). In other words, IOT is basically a network of physical gadgets and it is
a system of apparatuses equipped with information gathering technologies so
they can interact and interchange data with one another. There are many
applications of IOT, but just to indicate some of them that are applicable in
agriculture, poultry, farming, health care, environment, education, technology,
manufacturing, housing, finance, sports, energy and transportation.
Artificial Intelligence, according
to John McCarthy, the father of AI, is âthe science and engineering of making
intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programsâ (Katare, Padihar
and Qureshi, 2018, p.11). In other words, AI is the method of making a robot controlled
by computing machine or software that thinks intelligently. The applications of
AI are machine learning and deep learning with the capacity to automatically
acquire and enhance performance from experience. The correlation between these
two applications is that deep learning is a subcategory of machine learning which
is made up of algorithms that train it to do every task like face recognition
using large amounts of data. AI uses cases, just to indicate some of them, are
image recognition, warehouse optimization, credit verification and medical
diagnosis.
When IOT and AI connect,
the challenges become more complex. First, in terms of security, it is indispensable
to make sure that data is secure and in reliable hands. Second, in terms of
compatibility and complexity, many devices that have many different technologies
may cause many difficulties after merging all these devices in one. Third, in terms
of artificial stupidity, the incapacity of AI program to do basic tasks
perfectly. Fourth, in terms of lack of confidence, the concern of consumers and
businesses about security to protect IOT devices. Fifth, in terms of cloud
attacks, the unwished attention from detrimental viruses has been drawn by the quick
growth of cloud computing technologies. Finally, in terms of technology, the
biggest challenge is the competition of all technologies; however, we have many
more challenges and having these challenges and giving competition to every
technology is a very tough operation.
The integration of AI and
IOT tends to arise rapidly, which will make the internet more useful. AI and
IOT will change the future of humans but it requires the support and patience
of us. Connecting them together will give a valuable innovation and experimental
technology which will benefit companies and user by supplying good and efficient
products.
