Smart Home Personal Assistants: Fueled by Natural Language Processor and Blockchain Technology

Abstract

With the ever-increasing cost of livelihood, technological intervention is necessary to keep costs under control. Hence, smart home technology can be considered as a well-established and entrenched region of interest. In the current scenario, research subsidizes present-time houses, enabling the user to design and manage a smart home to conserve energy while allowing for more autonomous applications. A voice-activated home automation system integrates the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Natural Language Processing to deliver a cost-effective and efficient method of interacting with household equipment. The primary objective of this paper is to assess SPAs using blockchain technology and a natural language processor (NLP), as well as the design of a SPA based on the internet of things. Applicable cyber threats and countermeasures are also addressed in this article. Using Yule's coefficient of association, a case study was undertaken to evaluate the association between privacy and security threats posed by this modern technology. The findings show that privacy and security are positively related.
