IoT technology or better known as “Internet of things” refers to the wide range of devices that operate connected through the internet.

The research consultant Gartner presented some of the trends and changes that are expected until 2023.
Artificial Intelligence
Its application to IoT devices makes it more efficient thanks to automatic learning, allowing predictability of future events, improvements in security and maintenance tasks. “It is expected that in 2022 80% of the projects developed by companies will include an Artificial Intelligence component” thereby increasing the amount of data that an organization will have access to; If we consider that this is the basis for the operation of artificial intelligence, it will have positive consequences on the performance of the devices and on the strategies to be implemented.
IoT: Legal, ethical and social terms.
For the IoT deployment technology to be successful, it must not only be technically functional, but also ethical and socially acceptable. Therefore, companies should be educated about these aspects by reviewing the strategy proposed, and, if possible, seek advice from external consultants in legal terms.
New user experience and wireless networks.
Interaction with IoT devices occurs more frequently without the need for the use of a screen or keyboard being wireless, therefore, the user experience will undergo changes in its design, new algorithms, sensors, architectures and experience contexts, which makes it a challenge, but at the same time an opportunity for the industry.
Data economy
The data generated thanks to objects that use IoT technology have increased exponentially, this added to those originated by companies, public administrations, among others; have allowed the emergence of the so-called data economy. That is why understanding its rules is increasingly important to propose effective and appropriate policies allowing the development of well structured and differentiated value models and proposals.
Innovation in sensors and chips
According to research consultant Gartner, “Currently, most IoT endpoint devices use conventional processors, with low-power ARM architectures particularly appreciated. However, traditional instructions and memory architectures are not suitable for all tasks that endpoints must perform. ”This means that neural networks are limited by memory bandwidth; That is why it is expected that by 2023 there will be chips capable of reducing the energy consumption used by these networks, allowing any device that uses IoT technology to opt for function, for example, with voice recognition.
Reliable hardware and operating system.
When an organization installs an IoT system or technology, it focuses on computer security to prevent attacks and not precisely on the origin of the hardware and software used. However, although organizations will remain concerned about this item, the origin of these elements will be relevant in the face of the need to further safeguard security aspects to make them more secure and reliable.
IoT architecture changes
The change to centralized and edge architectures (data analysis and generation of solutions based on these) is something known in IoT technology, however, it is not the only point to consider, since the structure will change to a less structured and defined by compressing a wide range of things (people, devices, content) and services connected in a more dynamic system called Intelligent digital mesh.
