IoT arrived faster than anticipated.

new things
connected every
day this year
26 billion

“Devices” can mean a lot of “things”
Security
systems…
…all becoming connected to the cloud.
Cars…
Airplanes…
Fitness bands…
TVs…

Once all devices
become
connected,
technology
becomes easier,
faster – life
altering.

But is being “connected” enough?

We need an IoT
that is intelligent
and interoperable
– meaning, all of
these “things”
need to work
together.

But first things first…

We need to
engage with these
systems in an
intuitive way – a
well-designed
voice interface.

Because within
this conversation
between man and
machine is where
the intelligence
emerges.

Voice makes it
possible to clearly
express your
needs and wishes,
allowing you to
tap into and
unleash IoT
intelligence.
I’m travelling over the
holidays, so make sure
it looks like someone is
still home at night.
Ok, I’ll turn on the lights
at night.

The easier IoT
systems are to
use, the more
we’ll use them –
and the more we
use them – the
more intelligent
they become.
IoT use and
improvement

Consider the hundreds
of services and media
the IoT provides access
to in the cloud… 92%of everything we
do will be in the
cloud by 2020
That’s a lot of data to learn from.

To make our
systems and
devices smarter,
IoT systems
require AI to be
applied to the vast
amounts of data
generated every
day.

So now we’re connected,
conversational, and intelligent
– IoT success, yes?

So now we’re connected,
conversational, and intelligent
– IoT success, yes?
Almost.

A truly intelligent
IoT ecosystem is
one that works in
harmony – an
orchestra of
devices and
systems engaging
one another to
deliver powerful
experiences.

Our intelligent
systems can
sometimes be
introverts – they
don’t always talk
to each other, and
they lack
interoperability.

Without interoperability,
40%of the potential benefits
cannot be realized.

So why isn’t everything interoperable?

Incompatible APIs… Devices, cars, and
applications tied to disparate systems…
+ =
These things stand in the way of an interoperable IoT.

And not all
operating systems
want to be friends
– there’s branding
and lots of
valuable data at
stake… not
everyone wants to
share.

Tech “giants”
have no incentive
to create
interoperability.
Each company is
competing to
promote their own
proprietary
system.

But sharing is caring
when it comes to IoT.

The blend of artificial intelligence
and interoperability will drive the
IoT ecosystem forward in such a
way that it will almost become
invisible to our day to day.

Turn up the heat.
For example: If
you’d like to adjust
the temperature
while watching TV in
your living room, the
conversational
assistant in your
smart home will
know to direct that
request to your
smart thermostat.

If you’re in your
car and you want
to check your
bank balance,
your personalized
automotive
assistant knows to
direct that to your
virtual banking
assistant.
What’s my
balance?

The good news is that there are
platforms and neutral parties
emerging to connect the many
elements of the IoT.

from Nuance to connect devices
and systems across consumer,
industrial, and e-commerce market
segments.

And there are other consortiums,
alliances, and partnerships driving
forward IoT interoperability.

Highly specialized
interoperable
systems for the
car are also
emerging, given
that 250 million
cars will be
connected to the
internet by 2020.

Intelligent
automotive
assistants engage
drivers using data
in the car, from the
driver, and from
third-party
sources.

These in-car
systems can
access content
and services
beyond the
dashboard,
communicating
with home
systems.

If it can’t complete
the task itself, it
will direct to
another device or
agent that does
know how to
complete the task
successfully.
Sure, I’ll let your home
assistant know.
Record the Patriots
game.

So, being connected is only one
piece of the bigger IoT puzzle…

To be successful, the IoT needs to be
intelligent, interoperable, and intuitive.

The more
intelligent and
interoperable
things are, the
more intuitive
they become…
…and the more
we use them,
the more they
learn, the more
intelligent they
become.
