One of the most exciting recent developments in tech is the growing ability to connect devices, both consumer (e.g., refrigerators and watches) and industrial (e.g., fleets of cars and airplanes), using sensors and in some cases artificial intelligence to gather information and communicate through the Internet for purposes of control, data mining, maintenance, and other activities. Known as the “Internet of Things” or “IoT,” this evolving connectivity poses both traditional and new legal challenges.
