In this context The word “Smart’ comes from the rapidly developing technologies collectively termed as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Intelligence. Thus the adjective ‘Smart’ implies a computer-assisted system capable of observing, recording and using experiences to learn continuously and improve performance. A ‘Smart System’ is in reality an extension of the human system that learns, grows continuously and completely outperforms conventional human systems. Smart Systems have been developed in almost all fields of human endeavour to assist and enhance the performance of a pure human system many times over.
