From Smart to Intelligent: How Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence are Enhancing the Modern Home

Anshu Prakash Murdan

Abstract


As the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies continue to advance, they are becoming increasingly integrated into our homes, enabling a new level of convenience and automation. In this paper, we explore the evolution of smart homes to intelligent homes and the role of IoT and AI in this transformation. Smart homes were initially designed to provide homeowners with greater control over various home systems such as lighting, heating and cooling, security, and entertainment. With the rise of IoT, smart homes are now capable of collecting and analyzing large amounts of data to optimize energy efficiency, improve security, and enhance user comfort. AI algorithms are the key to unlocking the full potential of this data, enabling intelligent decision-making that adapts to individual preferences and needs. The benefits of this integration include reduced energy costs, improved comfort, and greater security, among others. However, challenges such as privacy, security, and interoperability must be addressed to fully realize the potential of intelligent homes. This paper provides insights into the ways in which IoT and AI are enhancing modern homes and highlights the need for continued research to address the challenges and unlock the full potential of this technology.
