The Massive Internet of Things - Dr Victoria Baines

Today, objects in smart cities, outer space, and medical implants in our bodies are connected to the internet.
When streetlamps can ‘talk’, when autonomous vehicles safely navigate, and energy and public services can be automatically routed when and where they are needed, we will reap the rewards of a Massive Internet of Things (MIoT).
How might we maximise the benefits while ensuring our data is protected and our networks are stable and secure?
This lecture was recorded by Victoria Baines on 5th December 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.

I disagree. Some predictions in sci-fi as a interstellar travelling become real. In particular aerocabs is not still an accomplished fact (also mentioned in fiction) but how on earth we could judge a big minds? Many predictions justify themselves. Many. I had had negotiated with distinguished Ukranian academic and he do strongly believe in aliens. We must not contradict the big minds but rather heed them and make experiences.

May we call a vacuum cleaner an AI?
