6G and D2D as Enablers of the Convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT)

The dependencies, interdependencies, and interrelationships between artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) are discussed in this chapter. The interaction between these fields creates a new convergence that permits standardisation, interoperability, and security. The focus of this chapter is on applications, underlying technologies, 6G network systems, and D2D communication within the framework of an intelligent and integrated ecosystem for computing, communication, coordination, and decision making. This chapter highlights some of the core 6G technologies that are anticipated to make it possible for IoT and AI to seamlessly converge.
