“Many of the AI developments that we are seeing involve autonomy and self-control, meaning that the behaviour of devices is also influenced by others around them. Vehicles and the Internet of Things are two recent examples. Our study gives a theoretical insight where simulated agents periodically call upon others for some kind of resource.”

In the race to embrace AI fast enough, enterprises have to grapple with the hard truth — slower ROI. As the use cases get narrower and technology penetration deepens, demand for AI visionaries and computer scientists is shooting up. Technology experts are now beginning to harp about the transformative power of emergent technologies — consumer-facing AI applications, cloud computing and the internet of things.

“On the other hand, the concept of shared IoT networks serving multiple applications has not taken off as quickly as some thought, and certain vertical markets have remained separate despite possible technology synergy. We see the IoT market growing at a CAGR of 28 percent over the next five years—that’s good growth, but not enough to revolutionize the wireless industry.”

With the ever-expanding horizon of the Internet of Things (IoT), big data is continuously becoming bigger. The growth of data is exponential — the size of the digital universe will be doubled every two years beyond 2020. And we do not know how to leverage that volume of data, for we have neither the statistical expertise of handling thousands of variables and eliminating ‘spurious’ correlations nor the suitable computational algorithms and equipment to handle billions of data points.

According to Statista report, the number of connected devices will be 31 billion by 2020. The report further stated the overall Internet of Things market is going to grow at a fast pace and will be worth more than 1 billion U.S. dollars. There is already talk that the internet of things might go on to become an independent internet with no human involvement. There is a discussion about how weakly connected special devices can impact the present internet and change the world as we know it.

The cybercrime economy is booming 2017 was the year of ransomware. So far, 2018 is the year of crypto-jacking: that is, mining crypto-currencies on devices without the owners’ consent. Crypto-jacking offers cybercriminals a high-profit return that is far stealthier than a ransom attack. Code has even been found on compromised websites that can secretly transfer to users and melt down their battery powered devices. Critical IoT infrastructures are already targeted to mine digital currency.
