I think they complement each other, but the Internet of Things may be more adaptable to the needs of social development. The reasons are as follows
Artificial Intelligence is similar to software, which needs IoT as a carrier, and IoT is similar to hardware, which needs AI to drive it. Artificial Intelligence needs to be applied as a carrier, and IoT is one of the most important carriers.
The Internet of Things in English is the Internet of things. IOT for short, translated that is, things are connected, everything is connected, simply put, that is, things are connected to things connected to the Internet, but in fact, the Internet of Things has been ubiquitous in our lives, from the use of the campus card we use during the school year to the high-speed ETC, and then to the popularity in recent years, smart bracelets, wearable devices and so on. Smart bracelet wearable devices and so on, are examples of the use of the Internet of Things, in addition, with the development of AI technology, the Internet of Things + AI brings more possibilities.
The intelligence of traditional household products is a good example, the Internet era, we use cell phones and other devices to obtain output information, d belongs to the model of human-computer interaction, is the main body of the human being to transmit data and information on the network, the Internet of Things is divided into three main components, network connectivity (connectivity), data processing, (device), network connectivity, the Internet of Things is mainly divided into three components. Sensors are installed in a variety of products, they are the Internet of Everything thing, these sensors or chips, so that the product has the ability to sense and data processing capabilities.
At the same time, IoT sensing devices can collect and generate a large amount of data every day, how to use these data and analyze the data, it has become a difficult problem, with the development of artificial intelligence, some artificial intelligence analysis methods can be introduced into the artificial intelligence for the IoT facing the data problem provides the best solution, artificial intelligence through the powerful data analysis capabilities, with the help of human beings Make the best decision, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are integrated, the use of artificial intelligence real-time analysis of data of the Internet of Things device terminal is coming into our thousands of households.
The simplest example of equipment: voice speakers and cell phone voice assistants are IoT terminals built on the technology of natural voice processing, and IoT home cameras also rely heavily on computer vision technology to implement monitoring functions. These IoT devices can only be truly superior with the help of AI technology. The relationship between IoT and AI is one of complementarity, hand in hand, and interdependence.
But the cycle of AI development is still very long, and at present, many universities put the core content of AI in the graduate school, undergraduate students used to test whether the students have the potential to learn and ability. At the same time, the artificial intelligence profession has excessive requirements for teaching equipment and teaching faculty, while the artificial intelligence industry, but where there is a unique knowledge and ability of the talent is basically in large enterprises, not in the school. Artificial Intelligence has a relatively high requirement for education.
The market for IoT engineering is huge, so the employment prospects are also very good. Graduates can be engaged in the information communication era content aspects of the depth, integrated, interdisciplinary information dissemination work, but also in the news communication technology to engage in the design, production and other aspects of the communication technology class work or in the government administration, scientific research institutions, design institutes, consulting firms, architectural engineering firms, property and energy management, building energy-saving equipment and product manufacturing and production enterprises, etc. Engaged in the construction of building energy-saving The company is also engaged in the research, design, construction, operation, monitoring and management of building energy efficiency.
