Artificial Intelligence of Things for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

This book covers various topics and trends regarding Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and their applications in society, industry, and environment for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) suggested by the United Nations. Additionally, it discusses their advancements and fusion as well as the realization of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). The book aims to provide an overview and recent research into the fusion, integration, advancements, and impact of these technologies in the context of SDGs achievement. The topics include the applications of AI, IoT, big data, AI-based and IoT-based cloud computing, machine learning and deep learning techniques, and blockchain among others for achieving SDGs. It also presents findings and discussions on potential application domains, addresses open issues and challenges, offers solutions, and provides suggestions for future research for achieving SDGs. The chapters are clustered, according to particular SDGsor areas of focus, into: i) the realization of AIoT for SDGs, ii) the role of AIoT in achieving society and wellbeing-related SDGs, iii) the fulfillment of industrial sectors, infrastructure, and economy-related SDGs through AIoT, and iv) the use of AIoT to aid natural resources and environment-related SDGs. The book assists researchers, practitioners, professionals, and academicians of various scientific fields in exploring and better understanding these state-of-the-art technologies, their advancements, impact, future potentials and benefits, and their role in successfully achieving SDGs. The book:
