The Convergence of Technologies In summary, the convergence of IoT, LTE, AI and cloud will help enterprises realize immediate business value to improve operating efficiencies and drive revenues in the short term. Across vertical industries, this convergence will also bring about new, long-term market opportunities that do not exist today. However, like any new wave of technologies, there will also be challenges in many areas in the IoT space, such as device security, privacy and the reliability of AI predictions or recommendations. These problems will be solved as the IoT ecosystem matures. Dan Mo currently works as a Senior Management Consultant at Starbucks and is leading large-scale, global technology initiatives.
