Artificial Intelligence and IOT - Why They're a Winning Combo

Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have got a great deal of press in the last few years, and with good reason -- they'll both transform 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." The report starts out by noting that using AI and IoT in tandem will become commonplace.
