📌 What is This Survey About?

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is one of the most exciting and promising areas that lies at the intersection of Internet of Things (IoT) and modern Artificial Intelligence (AI). At its core, AIoT is grounded on three key com- ponents: sensing, computing, and networking & communication. Compared to conventional IoT, the computing component of AIoT is concentrated on AI-oriented compute tasks. Moreover, the sensing and networking & communication components of AIoT are AI empowered. It is these two key distinctions that allow AIoT to empower billions of everyday devices with breakthroughs brought by modern AI.

In this survey, we provide a systematic and comprehensive review of AIoT research. We examine AIoT literature related to sensing, computing, and networking & communication. We also review domain-specific AIoT systems that are designed for various important application domains. We primarily focus on literature on sensing, computing, networking & communication, and domain-specific AIoT systems that are built upon modern AI techniques such as deep learning, foundation models, and Generative AI.

As both IoT and AI become increasingly critical to our society, we believe AIoT is emerging as an essential research field. We hope this survey will serve as a valuable resource for those engaged in AIoT research and act as a catalyst for future explorations to bridge gaps and drive advancements in this exciting field.
