The Impact of IoT Applications, Can Smart Devices Think?
Smart devices, such as those found on the Internet of Things (IoT), do not have the ability to think in the same way that humans do.
Rather, they are programmed to perform specific tasks and to make decisions based on the data that they collect and the instructions that they receive.
All digital devices work based on computer programs and supplied data.
Artificial Intelligence implies that these devices can think on their own.
If programmed appropriately, smart devices can evaluate data that is provided to them and modify processes or settings “on the fly”.
If they are provided with sufficient data, they can “learn” and modify their own code based on the new parameters.
