Nearly every consumer tech product we see in 2022 will be smarter, more intuitive, and perhaps even more conversational. “By adding artificial intelligence and machine learning to devices and attaching services to hardware in homes, companies are extending surveillance capabilities to consumers beyond standard access points,” observes Elizabeth Parks, president of Parks Associates.

Smart objects must talk to each other Matter is a protocol business owner database created by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), formerly known as the Zigbee Alliance, that is supposed to make allsmart home devices interoperable, regardless of their closed ecosystem.


The concept is almost impossible to imagine, with Amazon, Apple,, managing director of Accenture's software and platform services sector, notes: "…it's clear that the connected home market is in desperate need of a standard or two ." Getting Amazon, Apple, Google, and Samsung to interoperate is challenging enough. But the CSA also needs to convince third-party device and service providers, and ultimately consumers, that Matter matters. That will take some time. Speaking of IoT, edge intelligence (on the device, not in a cloud) has also taken a step forward with the new 12th Gen Intel Core H-series mobile processors, the fastest mobile processors ever.
