AI Adds Smarts to IoT Platforms

The Internet of Things’ killer app might be artificial intelligence. While it may be a stretch to classify artificial intelligence (AI) and its multifaceted offshoot machine learning as true applications, these techs can profoundly change IoT operations. AI makes IoT networks smarter and able to scale as needed without the risk of uncontrollable growth. IoT operations is an ongoing struggle to try to ensure that the thousands or more devices run properly and safely on an enterprise network and that the data that’s being collected is both accurate and timely. While the sophisticated back-end analytics engines do the heavy lifting of processing the steady stream of data, ensuring the quality of the data itself is often left to somewhat archaic methodologies.
