AI and IoT for Startups

Why should you attend?

This course provides an immersive exploration into the interconnected realms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), tailored for startups looking to harness these technologies. We begin with a foundational understanding of IoT, delving into its applications across various domains and providing a comprehensive explanation of what IoT entails. As we progress, participants will grasp the intricacies of IoT architecture, including its layers, technology stack, and communication protocols. The journey continues with an in-depth look at sensors, their types, and practical demonstrations using proximity and infrared sensors. Communication modules are dissected through hands-on examples with multiple IoT platforms like Raspberry Pi and Arduino while evaluating their use cases. The course then shifts focus to the AI landscape, contrasting narrow and general intelligence, predictive versus prescriptive AI, and integrating AI with IoT for enhanced capabilities. Machine learning and deep learning concepts are introduced with practical applications such as image recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing (NLP), optimization, prediction, and pattern recognition. Security design considerations are paramount; hence we explore how to secure IoT platforms against vulnerabilities. Lastly, we analyze real-world case studies in home automation, logistics, fleet management, smart metering solutions, culminating in a brainstorming session on identifying and realizing IoT opportunities for startups.
