The project leader and head of the Internet of Things Laboratory at FER, Prof. Ivana Podnar Žarko, delivered a talk titled "Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT): Bringing Intelligence into the Physical World" at the Digital Futures cross-disciplinary research center in Stockholm, Sweden, on August 29th 2024.
The talk introduced the concept of AIoT as a continuous processing cycle consisting of four steps: sensing, learning, decision-making, and acting. This cycle was illustrated with concrete real-world use cases. The challenges of AIoT were also reviewed, highlighting its operation in a dynamic and heterogeneous environment with limited resources dedicated to real-time data processing, online learning, inference, and decision-making under time constraints. Additionally, it was noted that data streams from IoT devices are often incomplete, prone to errors, and unlabelled. The talk further emphasized that AIoT systems must adhere to strict privacy and security requirements to protect sensitive user data, ensure device integrity, and maintain the safety of the physical environment.
