How are IoT related to AI, machine learning, Big data?

Question

big data

Are these areas related to each other, and if so, how? If you study them now, how can you use them together later? And which language is better to delve into (AI is more python, and IoT is C)?

Answer 1

Well, if you figure out what we mean by the Internet of Things - different sensors, devices that are connected via the Internet. It usually means that you, for example, have some kind of sensor in every house, or this device, and each such sensor, for example, generates data every second.
One device can generate at least a megabyte of data per day (sometimes even a gigabyte per day), and there can be at least a billion such devices -> this is a huge amount of data that you need to process and provide some kind of service on this.
This is big data (the amount of data that cannot be processed by the power of a separate computer).
How does this amount of data relate to machine learning?
When you work with a system that, for example, has 2-3 parameters, for example, fuel supply to the boiler and boiler temperature -> you can manually program the temperature control model depending on the fuel supply and control such a system. When you have 20 parameters, you can collect several scientists and build a complex model with formulas from 20 variables. But when you have thousands of variable parameters, there is no way to understand something and somehow figure it out.
It is very difficult for you to identify dependencies and patterns of behavior in networks of a billion devices. To understand how best to manage such networks, machine learning is used.
