This paper explores the Time-Triggered Ethernet (TTEthernet) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that transform industrial safety-critical systems. Adaptivity, efficiency, and reliability of the overall TTEthernet-based system are guaranteed by merging the new deterministic communication system in an industrial environment. The integrated system embraces intelligent security control of the integrated networks, featuring autonomous decision-making resource management and network security.

The volatility of share prices has demonstrated distinct trends in several worldwide exchange markets, such as the S&P 500 in the United States of America.
