Can Military AI wearables and IoT devices be manipulated to harm health, beyond data manipulation?
There is a question that has been on my mind for a while, all countries are now in an artificial intelligence race and have integrated them into war systems, data manipulation etc. I am sure that everyone has already come to mind, but a different topic of discussion came to my mind and I am curious about your opinions. For example, there is an artificial intelligence-supported IoT devices in a soldier's glasses or helmet, even if you know it now, artificial intelligence-supported wearable smart technologies work in a war environment, it allows his friend to see his health status or if there is any trap there, he reports it to the soldier and be warned. However, what happens if these systems are managed by malicious people in such a way that they are exposed to more radiation than normal, I also researched the physics layer of this, although there are thoughts such as matter cannot be created from nothing, etc., I found it in sources to support my opinion, but I could not find any view with any validity. Soldiers already have intense stress management and can get tired or distracted during their sleep deprived period, although they are used to these conditions. Can anyone who is malicious can take advantage of the ground created by conditions such as insomnia by increasing that radiation and cause more lack of attention and headaches? Although this does not pose a complete vital danger or seems that there is no valid gain in a war, let's think about it like this, an artificial intelligence decision should always be in the hands of the operator at critical moments, but if a soldier is in an intense conflict environment and feels more stress with the fatigue of that radiation, how much can he adapt to this decision, can't a person's brain be manipulated in these conditions, can't it be made different decisions, maybe his health can't be badly affected? In fact, if this was done with a supply chain attack, wouldn't it be even more effective with all this radiation increase if this condition was provided in advance for most of the soldiers? I know it may sound ridiculous, but at least when you think about it, it seems theoretically possible :d I would like to hear your thoughts.Azure Certified for IoT and the Azure IoT Device Catalog
Update Feb. 2024 - The Azure Certified Device program has concluded on February 23, 2024. This means that the Azure Certified Device catalog, along with certifications for Azure Certified Device, Edge Managed, and IoT Plug and Play will no longer be available after this date. However, the Edge Secured-core program will remain active and will be relocated to a new home at aka.ms/EdgeSecuredCoreHome. ------------------------------------------- When businesses set out on an IoT project, they have many things to consider: how the device connects to the internet, supported industry protocols. compatible sensors, and more. As IoT increasingly moves into the cloud space, one of the most important considerations is cloud compatibility. As Azure continues to grow, Azure compatibility for IoT devices is becoming a key component of the device selection process. To help with this, Microsoft has two programs to help you ensure your IoT device is compatible and discoverable: The Azure Certified for IoT program and the Azure IoT Device Catalog. The Azure Certified for IoT program is a pre-requisite for a device being included in the Azure IoT Device Catalog. There are currently three different certifications a device can achieve: IoT Devices, IoT Start Kit and IoT Edge Device. IoT Device certification covers bi-directional connectivity between the device and Azure IoT Hub. IoT Starter Kit certification builds on IoT Device certification, adding the reading of data from attached sensors, which is then sent to the cloud. IoT Edge Device certification builds on the IoT Device and Starter Kit certifications, adding Azure IoT Hub connectivity, IoT Edge runtime pre-installation, and basic device management. Once your IoT device is certified, it is qualified for inclusion in the Azure IoT Device Catalog.

The Vision AI DevKit appears in the latest 'The IoT Show' in an unboxing demo with Mahesh Yadev and Olivier Bloch. The full video is embedded at the bottom of this post. From the show description - Mahesh Yadav, Software Engineer on the Intelligent Edge team, joins the IoT Show to unbox the Microsoft Vision AI DevKit (aka.ms/iotshow/visionaidevkit), a smart camera for the intelligent edge. The developer kit uses the Qualcomm's Vision Intelligence 300 Platform which uniquely runs machine learning with hardware acceleration delivering results in milliseconds which is perfect for connected car or connected factory scenarios where you need low latency as well as support offline scenarios. In this episode, you will see how easy it is to bring up AI on the edge with Azure IoT Edge and Azure Machine Learning. The DevKit includes a sample AI model that identifies 183 objects including people, laptops, chairs and more. The highlight of the show is a real-time camera demo that asserts that both Mahesh and Olivier really are people.Enhancing automatic module deployments to devices through Azure IoT Edge
Azure IoT Edge has today released several enhancements to improve remote device management and edge device workload update tasks. Layered deployments give you the ability to independently deploy different combinations of modules to otherwise similar hardware, without requiring the creation of an automatic Deployment for every unique hardware configuration. Improved UI for automatic deployments allows for browsing and selection of Microsoft Azure Marketplace modules from within the create deployment experience. There are also new controls for setting routes and module twin properties. Automatic device management has gained automatic configuration for module twins helps to automate some repetitive tasks, similar to what is already available for for managing automatic device configurations.

Qualcomm Technologies to Enhance Secure Cellular Connectivity Solutions with Microsoft Azure Sphere for the IoTHands-on: Learn how to deliver OTA firmware updates with Azure IoT Hub
IoT and intelligent Edge devices deployed in the field sometimes require firmware updates to improve security or resilience. It is often impractical to physically visit every single device and manually apply new firmware, not to mention time consuming. Azure IoT Hub offers an automatic device management feature to help you roll out updates quickly and easily over the air (OTA). You can get familiar with how this is done by using an MXChip IoT DevKit by following the tutorial in GitHub Update IoT DevKit firmware OTA (Over-the-Air) through Azure IoT Hub Automatic Device Management. If you already have an MXChip IoT DevKit, give it a try today! If you need one, purchase a DevKit from SeeedStudio.
