2Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled with the Internet of Things (IoT)IoT refers to the network of interconnected physical devices embedded with sensors, Software, and other technologies that enable them to collect and exchange data over the Internet. AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines programmed to mimic and perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. It involves developing computer systems capable of performing tasks such as speech recognition, decision-making, problem-solving, learning, and more, without explicit human intervention. The integration of AI and IoT holds massive potential for transforming industries, optimizing operations, and enhancing user experiences. However, it is crucial to address the challenges surrounding privacy, security, ethics, and societal impact to ensure the responsible and beneficial use of these technologies.Dr. Ghawar SaidInternet of Things:
