When we allow ourselves to be drawn into the world of science fiction, the concept of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) conjures up visions of Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus battling the machine in the Matrix films.
However, in real life, AI/ML helps developers create better and lower-cost IoT end nodes that will benefit an ecosystem where their products exist. The benefits of AI/ML are far deeper than simply that of better decision-making in the end node; some optimizations come about bringing valuable benefits to all involved, including the consumer, the developer, and the operator.
