With the advent of the 5G era, AIoT has entered the fast lane of development and has become the core driving force for the intelligent connection of all things. But AIoT is not a simple stack of AI+IoT, but a deep integration of AI technology and IoT connection technology based on application scenarios and customer interfaces. Currently AIoT faces three major challenges:
◆ Fragmentation challenge: IoT brings a wealth of application scenarios and product forms. However, as a typical long-tail market, AIoT has a limited volume in a single market segment, tends to be small and diverse, and requires serious fragmentation. The diversity of needs has brought about the fragmentation of technology, and various connection technologies, security technologies, and various Chips, solutions and operating systems are highly fragmented.
◆ Performance challenges: As more and more product forms and applications are launched, consumers’ pursuit of user experience continues to improve, which puts forward higher requirements for AIoT’s platform capabilities. Intelligent terminals not only need to have higher AI computing power, but also be able to respond to different scenarios and meet edge computing needs.
◆ Security challenges: The combination of AI and IoT makes security more complex, and there are systematic security challenges in many aspects from chips, sensors, hardware interfaces, and software platforms. AIoT terminals not only need to face the security issues of cloud management, but also deal with the security risks of AI algorithms.
So, in order to meet these three challenges, what solutions are needed in the AIoT era?
