Imagine your gadgets, like lights or cameras, getting a brain!
That's kind of what happens when Artificial Intelligence (AI) mixes with the Internet of Things (IoT), which is basically all the normal stuff that can connect to the internet. Think of it as making ordinary things super smart. For example, in your house, smart thermostats can learn when you're home and when you're not, then change the temperature by themselves to save energy without you even thinking about it.
Smart cameras can use their new "brain" to figure out if something weird is happening and tell you right away, keeping your home safer.
These smart gadgets make your house more comfortable and efficient. It's not just homes, though. In places like factories, this smart tech helps machines work better. It can even look at something like fruit using cameras and automatically grade its quality, making sure you get good stuff.
Basically, adding AI to connected things helps them do more on their own and makes things run smoother.
This technology is becoming a really big deal, growing from $18.37 billion in 2024 to possibly $79.13 billion by 2030
