Abstract

Access to computing power is at our fingertips. In the palm of our hands, the mobile phones we hold are smarter than desktop machines that sat on our office spaces a decade ago. Still in our lifetime, the small screen that we stare at to read news, check email, or play a game has the computing power that used to take up an entire room as a mainframe computer. With this power comes connectivity that gives us access to information. The convergence of computing power, connectivity, and data opens the doors to so much more. Simplistically, these connected devices form what is called the Internet of Things (IoT). And now, companies are embedding some of these devices with AI. What started with voice-enabled platforms connecting to IoT devices now has broader implications of bringing intelligence to what would be ubiquitous computing.
