The integration of AI into the IIoT systems opened a new paradigm named AI-IIoT that enhanced the performance of IIoT systems through data centric insights, prognosis, adaptive actuation, and context awareautomation. However, there are many critical challenges that prevents the large scale adoption of the AI-IIoT systems. This paper presents an overview of AI-IIoT systems focusing on its architecture, applications, challenges and future directions.AbstractenIndustry 4.0Internet of ThingsIoTArtificial IntelligenceAIIndustrial Internet of ThingsIIoTConference Presentationn/a
