International Journal of Swarm Intelligence and Evolutionary Computation

When Artificial Intelligence Meets the Internet of Things: Motivations, Challenges, and Applications

International Conference and Expo on Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning

May 18, 2022 | Webinar

Wei Xang

Director, Cisco-La Trobe Center for AI and IOT, Australia

Keynote: Int J Swarm Evol Comput

Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is a newly emerging technology that combines IoT and AI technologies to enable decision making and analytics at IoT devices. IoT enables networks of physical objects that are equipped with sensors, software, and other technologies to exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet, while AI enables data analytics and automated decision making. This talk will start with the motivations of combining AI and IoT technologies as well as the associated challenges. Then Prof. Wei Xiang will talk about his experience in setting up Australia’s first accredited IoT Engineering program at James Cook University, as well as Australia’s only industrysponsored research centre that specialises in synergizing between AI and IoT technologies. Before concluding the talk, Prof. Wei Xiang will talk about a wide range of applications and use cases his AIoT Centre has been working on in Australia.
