Trends and Challenges in AIoT Implementation for Smart Home, Smart Buildings, and Smart Cities in Cloud Platforms

Abstract

Smart homes, smart buildings, and smart cities increase the quality of living by creating a world that is better and more secure, reducing dependency on human needs and efforts. This chapter investigates the complex landscape of security threats resulting from the integration of AIoT (artificial intelligence of things) and cloud platforms within the domains of smart homes, smart buildings, and smart cities. It examines the distinctive challenges and vulnerabilities that arise when these technologies converge. These technologies hold the potential to significantly enhance the quality of life, reinforce home security, and facilitate elderly care. However, their effectiveness hinges on access to extensive data about users' homes and private lives. This chapter underscores the critical need to address the ensuing security and privacy concerns, which present substantial barriers to the widespread adoption of these promising technologies.
