AIoT: Connecting AI to the Real World

This paper discusses how connectivity enables the AIoT, and gives a detailed review of the considerations for AIoT deployment. It explains where Matter fits today and how the Matter approach, which relies on an application layer of standardized protocols, security and semantics, can still benefit verticals that are, as of now, beyond the scope of Matter.

White Paper Overview

This research paper explores how the AIoT redefines connectivity, and gives a detailed review of the considerations for AIoT deployment. Also, having decided to add AI, there are a number of questions for developers. What connectivity protocol is best suited to transmitting the gathered data? How does Matter fit in in the AIoT? Will my system be able to communicate directly with other devices in the setup? What are the security requirements of the use case? This paper attempts to help answer these questions and more.
