The Internet of Things: Smart Devices for Smarter Living

The rise of the “Artificial Intelligence of the Internet of Things” poses both incredible business opportunities – from medical care through to smart buildings and smart cities – but it also opens up a can of worms related to privacy concerns and the loss of control of essential infrastructure.
