Impact of Internet of Things (IOT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) on National Development Through Science and Technology; A Systematic Review

The rapid advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) over the past decade have significantly influenced national development through science and technology. This study synthesizes 40 literature from 2017 to 2024 to assess the impacts of IoT and AI on various national development aspects. This study critically evaluates the role of IoT and AI in driving national development, focusing on key developments and trends within this period. It also investigated how IoT and AI contribute to industrial innovation, economic growth, and sustainability from the synthesized literature, while also identifying key challenges and opportunities associated with their integration into national development strategies. Employing a systematic review of 40 recent literature from 2017 to 2024, the study focuses on peer-reviewed articles, conference papers, and industry reports. A comprehensive analysis is conducted to extract relevant data and insights using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Findings reveal that about 85% of articles reviewed show significant advancements in IoT and AI technologies, leading to improved industrial processes, enhanced economic growth, and increased sustainability. However, challenges such as data security, infrastructure limitations, and policy implications are also identified. In conclusion, this study highlights the transformative impact of IoT and AI on national development, providing strategic recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders, and underscores the need for robust frameworks to address challenges and leverage opportunities, aligning with sustainable development goals.
