Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT), a paradigm driven by the integration of artificial intelligence and the convergence of the physical and digital domains, has ushered in a new era of hyperconnectivity and intelligent automation. While its innovations offer vast societal and economic benefits, IoT adoption faces significant challenges, including high deployment costs, integration complexity, and critical threats to security, privacy, and safety. This article critically examines these issues by exploring current advancements, highlighting economic and operational barriers, and analysing the evolving threat landscape. It emphasises the often-overlooked risks of rapid IoT expansion and presents balanced, forward-looking recommendations to support safer, more resilient, and sustainable IoT adoption and governance.
