Impact of AI and Blockchain on Smart Home Technology

AI and blockchain are two emerging technologies that help the advancement of the smart home technology in various ways. Blockchain is a distributed ledger that records transactions in a transparent, secure, and immutable way. AI is the capability of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, including reasoning, learning, and decision-making. Blockchain can enhance smart home technology by providing trustless, decentralized, and verified platform for data management, exchange, and governance. Blockchain helps the smart home device to share the data without relying on intermediary or central authority including utility company or cloud provider. For instance, IOTW is blockchain-based platform that creates a decentralized network for smart home devices so the devices can exchange data.

AI can enhance smart home technology by providing capabilities for predictions, data analysis, automation, and optimization. AI helps smart home devices to process huge amount of data from various sources, extract meaningful insights, and anticipate future events or outcomes based on historical data. This helps owners to plan and take preventive measures. For instance, Netatmo is a smart home device which uses AI for forecasting weather conditions based on local data and other is Amazon Echo that uses AI for providing voice-based interaction and personalized recommendation.
