STEKOM University international webinar on the development of IoT and AI in the development of modern technology, with professors from czech and lecturers from Pakistan.

The terms IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) are becoming more and more familiar today. This is possible because of the existence of the two technologies that can already be used in everyday life. Call it a digital assistant, smart home, or smart transportation or even a smart city. In use, all these technologies are internet-based and can analyze using stored data to then generate conclusions for users. For example, the technology used to help shrimp farmers to be more productive through a technological approach.

University of Computer Science and Technology (STEKOM University) through an international webinar invited Dr. Nurlaili, M.Ed, Ableono, M.Kom, Prof. Dr. Pavel Kromer of Chhecnya, Dr. Shaheena Noor from Pakistan and Prof. Liu Shaoqing from China to provide an explanation to students and the general public about the existence of this technology. This webinar will be held on April 10, 2021 online via zoom media and is free for participants who want to take part.


"Seeing the trend, in the future the majority of human work will be replaced by smart robots that can do work without any orders, but more based on input data and real time conditions at that time," said the Chancellor of STEKOM University in his speech. "However, I believe that robots cannot possibly replace all human roles," he added. The Rector's remarks at the beginning of the event sparked high interest from the participants who were present at the time.


The current movement of technological progress is very rapid, thus requiring STEKOM University students to always be up to date with these technological changes. Holding international webinars and listening to presentations from quality sources is a plus for STEKOM students because they can get valuable information outside of class hours.

IoT is a technology that helps us reimagine our daily lives, but artificial intelligence (AI) is the real driving force behind IoT's full potential. From the most basic applications for tracking users' fitness levels, to their wide potential reach across industry and urban planning, the growing connectivity between AI and IoT means that a smarter future can happen faster than we can imagine now.

The following formulation provides an idea of ​​​​what if AI and IoT are combined to improve the performance of modern technology.

AI + IoT = Superpower Innovation

IoT devices use the internet to communicate, collect and exchange information about users' online activities. Every day, they generate 1 billion GB of data. By 2025, it is projected that there will be 42 billion IoT-connected devices globally. Naturally, if the number of these devices increases. This is where AI comes into play — lending its learning capabilities to IoT connectivity.



In general, IoT is powered by the following three main technologies:

Artificial Intelligence (AI):

Programmable functions and systems that allow devices to learn, reason, and process information like humans.
5G network:

Fifth generation mobile network with high speed, real time data processing with virtually no lags

Big DataData:

in large quantities that are processed from various sources connected to the internet. Taken together, these interconnected devices are changing the way we interact with our devices at home and at work, creating AIoT (“Artificial Intelligence of Things”) in the process.

AIoT segment:

Here are the four main segments where AIoT is making an impact: wearables, smart homes, smart cities, and smart industries:

As for the Segment of AIoT, it can be detailed as follows:

1. Wearables: Wearables are like smart watches that continuously monitor and track user preferences and habits. This has not only led to great impact applications in the health technology sector, but also works well for sports and fitness. According to Gartner research, the global wearable device market is expected to generate more than $87 billion in revenue by 2023.

2. Smart Home: A house that is ready to respond to every request of its users is no longer limited to just being science fiction, or fairy tales. Smart homes can take advantage of appliances, lighting, electronic devices and more, learn homeowner habits and develop automated “support”. So this will have an impact on increasing energy efficiency.

3. Smart City: With more and more people flocking from rural to urban areas, cities will develop into a safer and more comfortable place to live. Coupled with investments aimed at improving public safety, transportation, and energy efficiency, smart city innovation will continue to grow. For example in New Delhi, there is a practical application of AI in traffic control, namely the Intelligent Transport Management System (ITMS) which is used to make 'real time dynamic decisions on traffic flows'.


4. Smart Industry: Equally important, industrial sectors from manufacturing to mining rely on digital transformation to become more efficient and reduce human error.



From “real-time data analytics” to supply-chain sensors, smart devices help prevent harmful errors in the industry. In fact, Gartner also estimates that more than 80% of enterprise IoT projects will use AI by 2022. In the future, by continuing to push the boundaries of data processing and supported by intelligent learning, AIoT integration is increasingly becoming mainstream.
