This book discusses the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and Blockchain and how they can work together to help reach the goals of Industry 4.0. The authors first discuss how AI and Blockchain can help increase performance in business. The authors go on to discuss how the technologies can integrate to provide a competitive edge for businesses through improvements in big data, which has allowed firms to organize huge datasets into structured components that computers can process quickly. The authors also cover security implications and how AI and Blockchain can act as a double-edged sword against cyber-attacks. Impacts in programming, calculations, robotization, robots, and equipment are also discussed. This book caters to an extensive cross-sectional and multi-disciplinary readership. Academics, researchers and their students in topics such as artificial intelligence, cyber-physical systems, ethics, robotics, safety engineering, and safety-critical systems should find the book of value.
