AGI-Enabled Solutions for Service Explosion in IoX: A Cyber-Physical-Social-Thinking Perspective

With the rapid growth of the Internet of Things, service explosion has become a serious challenge, hindering efficient collaboration in the Cyber-Physical-Social-Thinking (CPST) space. In response, the Internet of X (IoX) under the CPST framework is examined through an in-depth analysis from three dimensions: Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of People (IoP), and Internet of Thinking (IoTk). The rapid growth of IoT devices and data, the significant increase in the frequency of personalized interactions in IoP, and the explosive growth in the demand for IoTk cognitive services have caused existing communication, computing, and storage systems to face problems such as response delays and resource bottlenecks. To address the above challenges, a new AGI-based paradigm is proposed to address the problem of service explosion. The main mitigation approaches include interoperability, data/network efficiency, and security in IoT; scalable user management, personalization, and privacy in IoP; and brain-computer interaction, neural data processing, and brain information privacy in IoTk. Subsequently, the case of smart homes is employed to elaborate on how AGI alleviates the service explosion phenomenon in IoT, IoP, and IoTk scenarios. Finally, the development of artificial super intelligence is anticipated, and potential directions for future research are outlined.
