The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors has resulted in the generation of vast volumes of data, which necessitates the implementation of an efficient real-time anomaly detection protocol. This is necessary in order to ensure the reliability and safety of the system. This paper presents a novel AI-driven framework for real-time anomaly detection in Internet of Things data streams. The purpose of this framework is to address the high velocity, volume, and variety of data that is generated by Internet of Things devices. The solution that has been proposed makes use of cutting-edge machine learning techniques, such as ensemble learning and deep neural networks, in order to effectively discover and classify abnormalities. Our approach makes use of a hybrid model that incorporates CNN and RNN in order to take into consideration the temporal as well as the geographical information that is included within the data. For the purpose of further enhancing the accuracy of the model's detection, an attention mechanism has been included to prioritize the most important data bits. Experiments conducted on real-world Internet of Things datasets demonstrate that the framework achieves a detection accuracy of 98.3% and reduces the number of false positives by 18%. This is shown by comparing the framework to traditional methodologies. The functioning of the system is characterized by a latency that is less than 200 milliseconds, which makes it suitable for applications that need real-time processing. An artificial intelligence-driven framework can adapt to changing data patterns, which allows it to improve detection capabilities for a wide range of Internet of Things applications and continually guard against emerging threats. The results of this research emphasize the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) as a game-changing tool for anomaly detection in the Internet of Things (IoT), which offers a robust defense against the proliferation of connected devices.
