Preface

The combination of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents the cutting edge of technical advancement as we navigate the digital age. This synergy has important obstacles that must be overcome in order for it to be widely adopted and effective, even though it also promises to improve data processing and decision-making capacities.

This book addresses the constantly changing relationship along with a thorough analysis of how generative AI might improve WSN capabilities in a range of fields, including smart cities, healthcare, environmental monitoring, and industrial applications. There is a rising need for improved analytical tools due to the exponential expansion of data collected by sensors. A strong foundation for deriving significant insights, permitting predictive modelling, and enhancing system performance is offered by generative AI.

This book explores the various aspects of generative AI integration with WSNs, such as data quality, privacy issues, energy consumption, and the resilience of AI models in practical settings. Every chapter offers an integrated perspective of the current state of affairs and lays the groundwork for further investigation and innovation by fusing theoretical underpinnings with real-world case studies.

We encourage you to think about the significant effects of this convergence on communities, businesses, and society at large as you peruse this book. Our mission is to provide the knowledge necessary for academics, practitioners, and policymakers to fully realize the promise of generative AI while addressing its many obstacles.

We would like to thank all of the contributors who helped in making this book a team effort by sharing their knowledge and vision. Our joint goal is to shed light on the way forward, paving the way for a time when wireless sensor networks and generative AI will collaborate to build smarter, more effective surroundings.
