Nowadays, a new intelligence structure known as the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) comes into play. Broadly speaking, AIoT is a fusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) in practical applications. It applies AI to the edge and gives devices the ability to understand the data, observe the environment around them, and decide what to do best. However, the link among cloud, edge, blockchain, 5G, and AI poses many challenges that call for collaborative approaches and rethinking of the entire architecture, communication, and processing to meet requirements in latency, reliability, and so on. The purpose of this special section is to provide the academic and industrial communities a venue covering all aspects of the state-of-the-art collaborative approaches and systems at the AI and IoT, to advance their applications in the future.
