Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two of the most impactful and far-reaching technology developments of our time. Increasingly these two technologies are deployed together and the term ‘AIoT’ has come to the fore.
IoT devices can generate significant amounts of potentially valuable data and AI can be applied to this data in many locations, including ‘cloud’ data centres, various network edge locations, and on board the actual IoT devices themselves. All of these approaches have the potential to unlock significant value and new insights from IoT data.
When we refer to ‘AIoT’ we mean specifically the deployment of AI Use Cases on board IoT devices.
Applying AI to IoT data on board the source IoT devices can bring significant benefits, including improved performance, enhanced compliance, privacy and security and potentially reduced operational costs.
In this report we provide an introductory overview of AIoT, including the benefits of AIoT, the market potential for AIoT, requirements for platforms to support AIoT, and chipsets that are optimised for AIoT.
