How IoT, AI, and Cloud
Create Your Digital Butler
Internet of
Things
Definition:
The interconnection via the internet of
computing devices embedded in
everyday objects, enabling them to
send and receive data
Smart Thermostat
Tech wearables (fitness
trackers, smart rings, etc)
Smart bulbs
Internet of
Things
How it works:
Action
Processing
Transmission
Collection
Cloud
Computing
Definition:
The practice of using a network of
remote servers hosted on the internet
to store, manage, and process data,
rather than a local server or a personal
computer
Streaming (Netflix,
Spotify)
File Storage (Google
Drive, Dropbox)
Communication (Teams,
Discord)
Cloud
Computing
How it works:
Send/Build resources
over the internet to a
datacenter
Access those resources
via the cloud
Datacenter
Artificial
Intelligence
Natural Language
Processing
Definition:
The application of computer systems
able to perform tasks or produce
output normally requiring human
intelligence, especially by applying
machine learning techniques to large
collections of data.
Facial Recognition
Chatbots
Artificial
Intelligence
How it works:
AI is pattern recognition. It takes in
large amounts of data, finds these
patterns and is able to handle complex
problems and repetitive tasks because
of the patterns it’s found.
The Combination
• Using IoT allows us to get a physical device connected to the internet.
• Cloud Computing allows us to process that data from the device
• Artificial Intelligence allows decisions and output to be intelligently
generated based on the input.

The Problems
IoT:
• Lack of encryption
• Weak/No authentication
• User-based updating
• Future support
Cloud Computing:
• Misconfiguration
• Poor access management
• Insecure APIs
• Data breaches
Artificial Intelligence:
• Data privacy leaks
• AI poisoning to corrupt output
• Bad Actors
• Cloud Reliance
The Solutions
IoT:
Artificial Intelligence:
• Standardize minimal encryption
• Limited collection/no personal data
• Offer increase security (2FA)
used for training
• Use mandatory updates
• Training data audits/QA
• Be upfront about minimum lifespan • Limited AI for specific use
• Local AI
Cloud Computing:
• Offer expert guidance
• Focus on permission experience
• Third party audits
• Government oversight
The Outcome
Definition of Butler:
• The chief manservant of a house; a
person who performs duties for others,
especially a person employed in a
house on domestic duties or as a
personal attendant.
