Smart Dust, a nanotechnology innovation, consists of tiny sensors dispersed in various environments to collect data, raising significant privacy concerns and cybersecurity risks due to its decentralized nature and ability to transmit vast amounts of data. The use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms can enhance real-time processing and analysis of sensor data, but also increases the risk of malicious actors exploiting vulnerabilities. Environmental monitoring and industrial process control are potential applications, but the lack of regulation and standards governing Smart Dust deployment raises concerns about inconsistent and insecure deployments. Biomedical applications, such as monitoring physiological parameters, are also being explored, highlighting the need for careful consideration of the potential risks associated with Smart Dust technology.
