AI concepts for business applications
The business world has been hearing about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain. AI was the superstar topic of conversations at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this past January 2019. Here, Nick Brestoff, a former attorney who now holds eight (8) patents for business applications that use AI and the breakthrough form of AI -- \"deep learning,\" provides his readers with a \"no math\" explanation of deep learning that's followed by numerous applications in a wide variety of contexts. In this book, he opens the door to his journey of understanding and innovation, all in an effort to empower his readers to come up with business-relevant innovations of their own. -- Provided by publisher.

Commercializing Blockchain
The accessible, non-technical guide to applying and benefiting from blockchain technology.
Blockchain has grown at an enormous rate in a very short period of time. In a business context, blockchain can level the playing field between small and large organisations in several ways: Exact copies of the immutable, time-stamped data is held by all parties, all transactions can be viewed in real time, data blocks are cryptographically linked, all raw materials are traceable and smart contracts ensure no middle-men, ease of audit and reduced friction. The trust, transparency, security, quality and reduced costs of blockchain make it a game-changing technology that crosses sectors, industries and borders with ease. Even though the technologies are ready for adoption, businesses remain largely unaware of their full potential and effective implementation. End users require accurate and up-to-date information on the practical applications of blockchain — Commercializing Blockchain provides it.
A practical and easy-to-understand guide to blockchain, this timely book illustrates how this revolutionary technology can be used to transform governments, businesses, enterprises and entire communities. The author draws from his experience with global retailers, global technology companies, UCL Centre for Blockchain technologies, the government of the UK, Retail Blockchain Consortium and many other sources to present real-world case studies on the use and benefits of blockchain. Topics include financial transactions, tokenisation, identity management, supply chain transparency, global shipping and freight, counterfeiting and more. Provides practical guidance for blockchain transactions in business operations
* Provides practical guidance for blockchain transactions in business operations
* Demonstrates how blockchain can add value and bring increased efficiency to commercial operations
* Covers all of the essential components of blockchain such as traceability, provenance, certification and authentication
* Requires no technical expertise to embrace blockchain strategies
Commercializing Blockchain: Strategic Applications in the Real World is ideal for enterprises seeking to develop and deploy blockchain technology, particularly in areas retail, supply chain and consumer goods.

QIoTChain: Quantum IoT‐blockchain fusion for advanced data protection in Industry 4.0
The modern world has its foundation built on data. Data is generated all the time, and many aspects of the society and economy are built upon it. In today's world, data is employed in better decision‐making, innovation, and improving the efficiency of systems. It becomes essential to protect it from being tampered with or misused. Encryptions based on cryptographic systems are used in mainstream data protection these days. There have been newer iterations of mechanisms based on new techniques using blockchain and the zero trust model and even systems that employ fog computing along with content delivery networks. The advent of computation through quantum technologies also helped in developing data security with post‐quantum mechanisms. The critical conditions for the working of these mechanisms hinder their adoption primarily. This also leads current systems to lack one or more of these technologies. Thus, the importance of a unified system that can employ quantum technologies effectively becomes prominent and requires a definitive investigation. In this article, a Quantum‐IoT‐based data protection scheme that can be of value to Industry 4.0 is analyzed. Light is also shed on innovations in quantum computing that can help solve not just current problems but also the future. Data underpins modern society and the economy, enabling informed choices and innovation. Protecting data from tampering is crucial, leading to encryption using cryptography, blockchain, and zero trust models. Quantum computing advances aid post‐quantum security, yet adoption hurdles persist. A quantum‐IoT data protection plan is explored here, vital for Industry 4.0, while ongoing quantum innovations promise solutions for present and future challenges.
