About the Book
The book delves into how edge AI, combined with technologies like 6G, is transforming industries by enabling decentralized decision-making and faster responses to data-intensive tasks. The book discusses how AI-driven cybersecurity tools are being developed to detect, mitigate, and prevent cyberattacks, ensuring that systems remain resilient in the face of evolving threats. The book also addresses the ethical implications of AI and big data, particularly as these technologies become more pervasive. Issues such as data privacy and the societal impacts of automation are explored in detail. Finally, the book covers the advancements in AI-enabled and autonomous systems, which are playing an increasingly vital role in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. By covering the latest innovations, the book enables researchers, students, and professionals to explore emerging technologies and apply them to solve complex problems across industries.
- Discusses the integration of intelligent technologies across industries, including AI, big data, and advanced networking;
- Presents challenges associated with the rapid deployment of these technologies, particularly in cybersecurity;
- Addresses ethical implications of AI and big data, particularly as these technologies become more pervasive.
