Of all the ways IoT (Internet of Things) technologies promise to change lives and businesses in the next century, the idea that any and all machines could obtain human-esque intelligence through AI (artificial intelligence) is among the most exciting. No longer the realm of science fiction, AI powers many everyday processes and increasingly common devices and services--from Netflix's personalized content recommendations to smart speakers with voice-activated personal assistants. In 2019, innovative minds and companies will continue to push the envelope, enabling new and/or more advanced applications of AI in business and consumer realms. Drust, a French automotive-technology company founded in 2014, is one example of how a group of innovators can help drive AI-enabled solutions forward--pun intended. Drust designs, develops, and markets software and AI solutions that aim to enhance the value of data from connected vehicles.
