IT pros see the promise of AI, IoT in the enterprise

Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) are expected to have the biggest impact among all emerging technologies in the enterprise, according to a new report from Spiceworks. Almost 20% of IT pros said they have already deployed IoT devices within their organization, according to the survey of 560 IT professionals. Another 40% said they plan to adopt them. But IoT and AI also have IT pros concerned about security and privacy, Spiceworks found. Professionals are still waiting for vendors to emerge as leading providers of IoT and AI devices. Until that happens, device concerns could persist.
