Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are each considered powerful and promising technologies in the IT sector. When combined, they form a more advanced concept known as the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). In this survey, IoT devices act as a digital nervous system, while AI serves as the system’s mastermind. This article provides a brief overview of this hybrid technology and explores some of its practical applications in the real world, in addition to the role of AI algorithms in addressing potential security threats.
