This article discusses the combined applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, which are set to transform the modern industry and lead to a bright and promising future.
Imagine a piece of wood doing amazing things using artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT)! This is exactly what mui smart wooden plank (Fig. 1) does. It is an interactive wood panel for smart home applications, created by a Japanese company and showcased recently at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019, Las Vegas.
mui is an Internet-connected plank of wood with built-in microphone, touch-sensitive interface and Google Assistant. It can display information including weather, and also control Internet-connected devices and smart assistants. Its design interface includes elements of AI and the IoT. From metal (conductor) to semiconductor, and now to wood! Who knows, in the future, with the power of technologies such as AI and the IoT, your chairs and tables could become smart enough to start tracking your daily routines and activities.
Currently, AI and the IoT are the buzzwords in the industry. These technologies fascinate many researches and industries across the globe. A combination of these two technologies is revolutionary, and is set to transform the landscape of modern industry. The growth of both technologies will impact the industry, including its structures, transactions and practices.
These technologies will impact future businesses and help reduce global poverty, solve water shortage problems and improve agriculture productions. These will greatly benefit emerging countries like India and Africa. A smart connectivity ecosystem coupled with AI will be a disruptive force that will change the world in a big way. Almost everything will be smarter, including self-driving cars, smart homes and smart cities.
