  In an era where the Internet of Things (IoT) intersects increasingly with
generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), this article scrutinizes the emergent
security risks inherent in this integration. We explore how generative AI
drives innovation in IoT and we analyze the potential for data breaches when
using generative AI and the misuse of generative AI technologies in IoT
ecosystems. These risks not only threaten the privacy and efficiency of IoT
systems but also pose broader implications for trust and safety in AI-driven
environments. The discussion in this article extends to strategic approaches
for mitigating these risks, including the development of robust security
protocols, the multi-layered security approaches, and the adoption of AI
technological solutions. Through a comprehensive analysis, this article aims to
shed light on the critical balance between embracing AI advancements and
ensuring stringent security in IoT, providing insights into the future
direction of these intertwined technologies.
