Chapter 5: AI and IoT (Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things) Class 6
🧭 Chapter Overview
AI and IoT (Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT)) are two of the most powerful technologies in today’s digital world 🌍. When combined, they create smart systems that can sense, analyze, and act automatically — just like humans!
In this chapter, we’ll learn:
What is IoT
How AI works with IoT
Real-life applications
Common AI-based IoT devices
5.1 Introduction to IoTs (Internet of Things)
💡 Definition:
IoT (Internet of Things) refers to the network of physical devices connected through the internet that can collect, share, and exchange data automatically.
These devices — like smartwatches, refrigerators, or home security cameras — have sensors, processors, and internet connectivity.
⚙️ How IoT Works:
Sensors collect data (e.g., temperature, light, movement).
Connectivity sends the data to the cloud or server.
Processing analyzes the data using AI or algorithms.
Action is taken automatically or by alerting users.
📱 Example:
A smart AC adjusts room temperature automatically based on weather and your comfort settings.
A smartwatch tracks your steps and heart rate and sends reports to your phone.

5.2 AI with IoT
💡 Definition:
When Artificial Intelligence (AI) is combined with IoT, the system becomes smarter, faster, and more autonomous. AI enables IoT devices to analyze data, learn patterns, and make intelligent decisions without human help.
This combination is called AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things).
The combination of AI and IoT is used in almost every field — from smart homes to hospitals, agriculture, and cities.
