The shift toward a world where machines talk to each other
In short: Watch Professor Martyn Thomas CBE explain the transition from a human-centric internet to one dominated by machine-to-machine data. This talk explores the massive scale of the Internet of Things and the implications of our increasingly connected world.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has moved beyond simple gadgets like smart light-bulbs and baby monitors. Professor Martyn Thomas CBE discusses how billions of devices are poised to connect, shifting the primary volume of internet traffic from human interaction to machine-to-machine data exchange.
The presentation addresses the fundamental logistical and ethical questions of this shift: how this vast amount of data will be processed, what the tangible benefits will be, and what risks are inherent in a world of ubiquitous connectivity. Thomas brings his expertise in software engineering and cybersecurity to these critical issues.
