If the robot apocalypse coming?

It’s likely that machines will be smarter

than us before the end of the century—not

just at chess or trivia questions but at just

about everything, from mathematics and

engineering to science and medicine. There

might be a few jobs left for entertainers,

writers, and other creative types […]

– Professor Gary Marcus

The development of full artificial

intelligence could spell the end of the

human race.

– Professor Stephen Hawking



The role of the Internet of Things in the robot apocalypse

Internet of Things

■ Sensors and actuators embedded

in physical objects

■ Interface between cyberspace and

physical world

■ Machine to machine communication

■ Volume

■ Velocity

■ Variety

■ Veracity

■ Autonomous decision making

■ Driven by objectives

■ Towards self-awareness



The Internet of Things is around (and in) us

2015: 13,2 bln.

2020: >25 bln.*

2015: 373 mln.

2020: 3,5 bln.*

> 43

Million

2 to 72015: no. of

wearable bands

shipped

2020: no. of IoT

“things” per

living person

Connected devices Smart meters

Connected vehicles

2015: 313 mln.

2020: 1 bln.*



Smart everything – how we benefit from the Internet of Things

■ Smart Meters -

efficient use of

energy

■ Home

automation

■ Smart

management of

city

infrastructure

■ Surveillance

Home and City Consumer and

retail businesses

Manufacturing &

Operations

(“Industry 4.0”,

IIoT)

Health Transportation Agriculture

■ Improved

customer

experience

■ In-store

localization

■ Industrial

controls

■ Health and

safety

management

■ Supply chain

optimization

(RFID)

■ Expanded

access to

healthcare

■ Well-being - the

quantified self

■ Emergency

Notification

■ Connected

Vehicles

■ Self-Driving

Cars

■ Smart

Infrastructure

■ Feed the planet

- improved crop

yield

■ Sustainable

environment -

reduced water

consumption



Where to make money with the Internet of Things



Smart homes – 15 seconds to turn it into a smart spy



Smart transportation – RC cars for adults



Smart health – the connected pacemaker

Industrial Internet of Things – why bother with Card and Pin



Realizing the benefits – managing the risks

■ Use of data (e.g. privacy)

■ Use of artificial intelligence

■ Global, avoid fragmentation

■ Overarching principles?

■ Effective implementation of principles

■ Role of self-regulation

■ Global enforcement

■ Built-in not bolted on

■ Authentication, redundancy, SW

upgrades/expiration, data

minimization, monitoring...

Security/Safety/Privacy/

Resilience by design

Governance

Regulation and

standards

Ethics



…so, is IoT the final step towards the robot apocalypse?

Internet of Things

Overcome critically important challenges around safety, security, privacy and resilience to

realize the full potential of these technologies

Whether we

master of Artificial

Intelligence determines

if and when the

robot apocalypse

becomes real
