Abstract: This paper explores how Generative AI can revolutionise cloud services, enabling smart automation over the Internet of Things (IoT). It outlines the potential use of Generative AI in smart homes, industrial automation, healthcare and transportation, proposing an architecture that integrates cloud computing, edge computing and IoT computing for Generative AI. The integration allows IoT devices to assess data, make independent decisions and manage themselves based on customised user experiences and functionality. Case studies and experimental evaluations demonstrate significant productivity, efficiency and user satisfaction improvements. However, challenges such as data heterogeneity, security issues and ethical considerations must be addressed for reliable AI-enabled IoT applications. Collaboration with academicians, business experts and governmental representatives is suggested to build trustworthy spaces for integrating AI capabilities into IoT cloud services, leveraging the joint effort between Gen AI and IoT for innovation, productivity and competitiveness.

Keywords: generative AI; internet of things; cloud services; intelligent automation; AI-Driven IoT.
