Most importantly, an interactive device, when not integrated with any form of AI or adaptive capabilities, are merely ‘dumb technologies’. In contrast, smart technologies are based on AI-powered smart devices incorporated from the bottom up, whilst in tandem an overarching management system that conducts If-This-Then-That, Unified Endpoint Management, Identity and Access Management, Single Sign-On and app and device engines from the top down ensure that the smart devices are standardized, regulated, ethically managed, universally seamless, and overall user friendly.
