We are already living with many IoT enabled devices, at home, at work and in our environment; such as autonomous transport and smart home appliances. This has revolutionised our lives, allowing us to stay connected and flexible, which has proved immensely valuable during Covid-19. Rapidly developing digital technologies, together with social and business trends, are providing huge opportunities for innovation in product and service markets, and in government processes.
However, the type of disruptive events we are now facing also highlight the challenges of the invisible “things” of IoT, such as networks and infrastructure, relating to cybersecurity. Trends that are challenging now and will increasingly challenge society, include developments in technologies on the outskirts of the Internet. These include Artificial Intelligence (AI), not just in the cloud but in Edge computing, and in IoT devices and networks.
