Is AI more important than Big Data for IoT Implementation?

The development of the internet of things has revolutionized the heavy industry, online shopping, localized data collection and virtually every other aspect of modern life and business. However, innovators are still struggling over the future of the IoT, and how they'll get there. While many see big data as the driving engine behind the IoT, savvy investors and entrepreneurs have shown that artificial intelligence is the real power of the interconnectivity phenomenon. Today's AI is increasingly capable of operating as a prediction engine, being used to foresee and exploit forthcoming market trends more so than being used as robotic labor. As the quality of AI's predictions continues to grow, companies in virtually every industry will come to rely on its accurate forecast more so than on big data analytics.
