Is Artificial Intelligence The Catalyst To Unlock The Power Of IoT?

We stand on the brink of fruition of two technical revolutions that are, in reality, one and the same. And the two halves of this revolution will feed one another: The more information IoT can provide, the more quickly AI will develop and the greater its potential impact. The more AI advances, the more value it provides in the capacity to process information. This will drive a desire to gather more and more information about more of the world and therefore open the opportunity for IoT to become even more pervasive and valuable in its role as data collector. For organizations, governments and societies that can harness this virtuous spiral, there is almost unlimited opportunity -- the possibility to gain greater insight into everything from global weather patterns to treatment of infectious diseases to building hyper-efficient cities. Information is the lifeline of businesses and the currency of the future, and the capacity to handle that information (to gather it and process it) will be what creates the new mega-enterprises of the next two decades.
