Artificial Intelligence for the Internet of Everything

For the Internet of Everything (IoE), from an AI perspective, we discuss the meaning, value and effect that the internet of things (IoT) is expected to have on ordinary life, in industry (IIoT), on the battlefield (IoBT), in the medical field (IoMT) and with intelligent-agent feedback in the form of constructive and destructive interference (IoIT). We consider the topic open-ended but with an AI perspective that addresses how the IoE affects sensing, perception, cognition and behavior, or causal relations whether the context is clear or uncertain for mundane decisions, complex decisions on the battlefield, life and death decisions in the medical arena, or decisions affected by intelligent agents and machines. We pay attention to theoretical perspectives for how these “things” may affect individuals, teams and society; and in turn how they may affect these “things”. We are most interested in what may happen when these “things” begin to think. Our ultimate goal is to use AI to advance autonomy and autonomous characteristics to improve the performance of individual agents and hybrid teams of humans, machines, and robots for the betterment of society.
