Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have recieved a great deal of attention over the last few years, and with good reason — they both are transforming the way enterprises do business. And now, a new Gartner report says that the synergy between them will be so powerful that enterprises should consider rolling them out in tandem. The report, “AI on the Edge: Fusing Artificial Intelligence and IoT Will Catalyze New Digital Value Creation,” puts it this way:
“Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things are symbiotic technologies that will be the foundation of a new platform for digital business value creation. CIOs engaged in IoT initiatives should leverage these capabilities for strategic advantage.”
Companies that don't look carefully at artificial intelligence and IoT risk losing competitive advantage.
