Frequently Asked Questions

What is AIoT?

The nexus between Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence formulates the AIoT focus area. When IoT are enabled with AI capabilities, they become inherently intelligent during their operations and interactions, that brings about the unsupervised nature of IoT devices.

Why the focus on Cybersecurity when looking at IoT and AI?

IoT devices increased the capability of connectivity to everyday objects as such the attack surface has been multiplied. It is important that attention is paid to cybersecurity for AI and IoT applications across any domain as they have a two edged sword component on data. Yes there are benefit to reap, but so too are the security concerns that comes with these technologies.

Where does ICT4D fit in?

Information Communication and Technologies for Development (ICT4D) have been generalised in many discussions and loosely applied a terminology in several contexts. ICT4D ensures we focus our application of ICTs to address tangible challenges with a focus on the communities that we are targeting. If not carefully considered ICTs can be the catalyst for extending the digital divide instead of bridging it, they can be the amplifiers of systemic biases instead of curbing them. The main message behind ICT4D is therefore, lets develop solutions with the respective communities and not for them. Personally I will consider proper ICT4D the bedrock of sustainability.

Does application domain matter?

It is important to have a contextual approach when looking at AI and IoT as each domain demands different security requirements, data privacy and governance nuances. Henceforth, the domain of application should be well understood, defined and holistically considered for effective, secure and efficient solutions. At the backdrop of such requirements will be informed and detailed research to aid the decision making processes.
