00:06Adapting to Ambient Intelligence
00:09Part 1. What is Ambient Intelligence?
00:17Imagine, after doing a chore on a hot summer day,
00:22you just walk into your house.
00:24You are dead tired and slumped into a chair near a window.
00:32Immediately, the window blinds roll down to shade you
00:36from the blazing sun coming through the window.
00:39Room lights adjust to create evenly diffused lighting
00:43and air conditioner starts blowing cool air.
00:46Your music system starts playing soothing tunes that you like
00:50and a fresh jasmine fragrance arises in the air to calm you down.
00:57All this without you even uttering a word to your domestic help or to your Alexa.
01:03Wouldn't this be lovely?
01:05What seemed like a pipe dream just a few years ago is now becoming a reality
01:10thanks to seamless integration of various technologies already available to us.
01:16Such intelligent systems are called Ambient Intelligence.
01:21Ambient Intelligence or AMI refers to a system that understands
01:26an individual person's needs, preferences, actions, emotions
01:31and responds accordingly to create most suitable personalized ambience
01:36without any direct intervention by the individual.
01:39Such system can work in our living room, kitchen, workplaces, retail stores,
01:45cars, hotels and even hospitals.
01:49The global AMI market was valued at US$1.27 billion in 2022
01:56and is expected to grow rapidly at CAGR of 13.2% according to reports and data.
02:05Despite expected overall growth, the AMI market is expected to grow unevenly in different countries.
02:12Largely the growth will be fueled by the demand for remote monitoring and automation
02:18in healthcare, manufacturing, logistics
02:21coupled with the expanding adoption of smart homes and investments
02:26in smart city infrastructure by government and businesses.
02:32Motorola Intelligent expects high growth for India and Asia-Pacific countries
02:38whereas medium growth for the US and Western Europe countries.
02:45In the next part of this issue, we will examine key characteristics of Ambient Intelligence.
