The Internet of Things is quickly expanding, linking everything from smart homes to abode machines. These are serious security risks, however, because hackers attack these devices with such attacks as data theft and malware. These threats are just a current example of traditional security methods not being able to stop. IoT is being protected with Artificial Intelligence (AI) by detecting threats, risk analysis, and automatic responses. This article details how AI aids IoT security, its linkage to the blockchain, and its challenges. AI has helped businesses and individuals to make IoT systems more secure and reliable in the digital world.
