Ericsson IoT chief on AI, 5G, and connecting 'things' instead of 'a thing'

#artificialintelligence

We spoke to Ericsson IoT Head Jeff Travers during MWC 2019 about where the industry is heading and how emerging technologies are opening new possibilities. A running theme of this year's event was how technologies such as the IoT, 5G, AI, and blockchain are converging in powerful ways. Last year was a lot of talk about their potential, this year we're seeing more actual deployments. Transportation is one area where the IoT is having a major impact. The morning of our interview, Ericsson announced it's helped to build a '5G smart harbour' at the Port of Qingdao in partnership with China Unicom.
