Practical Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain

By: Ganesh Prasad Kumble

Overview of this book

AI and blockchain are two emerging technologies catalyzing the pace of enterprise innovation. With this book, you’ll understand both technologies and converge them to solve real-world challenges. This AI blockchain book is divided into three sections. The first section covers the fundamentals of blockchain, AI, and affiliated technologies, where you’ll learn to differentiate between the various implementations of blockchains and AI with the help of examples. The second section takes you through domain-specific applications of AI and blockchain. You’ll understand the basics of decentralized databases and file systems and connect the dots between AI and blockchain before exploring products and solutions that use them together. You’ll then discover applications of AI techniques in crypto trading. In the third section, you’ll be introduced to the DIApp design pattern and compare it with the DApp design pattern. The book also highlights unique aspects of SDLC (software development lifecycle) when building a DIApp, shows you how to implement a sample contact tracing application, and delves into the future of AI with blockchain. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the skills you need to converge AI and blockchain technologies to build smart solutions using the DIApp design pattern.

Summary

AI has been at the cutting edge of innovation, with the majority of business applications adopting it across all domains. In this chapter, we were able to observe the key concepts, brief history, and progress of AI so far. We also covered different approaches used in the AI landscape and understood multiple implementations and categories within AI with the help of a diagram. We then observed the steps required to apply AI in a digital transformation program to achieve the best results. Finally, we concluded the chapter with an introduction to some of the latest tools and platforms used proactively by the AI community globally.

In the next chapter, we will explore some interesting applications of AI and blockchain, along with some detailed case studies of real-world scenarios.
