  Artificial intelligence is everywhere—it’s in our houses and phones and cars. AI makes decisions about what we should buy, watch, and read, and it won’t be long before AI’s in our hospitals, combing through our records. Maybe soon it will even be deciding who’s innocent, and who goes to jail . . .But most of us don’t understand how AI works. We hardly know what it is.In "Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us?", AI expert Kenneth Wenger deftly explains the complexity at AI’s heart, demonstrating its potential and exposing its shortfalls. Wenger empowers readers to answer the question—What exactly is AI?—at a time when its hold on tech, society, and our imagination is only getting stronger.

  An introduction to the basics of blockchain technology. 
  Are you confused by the blockchain? 
  Do you know what it is and how it works? 
  Do you want to know how it can change the world? 
  Then, you’ve chosen the right book. 
  Blockchain technology is not new. In fact, it was introduced in 2009 with the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, but since then, things have moved on at a significant pace. These days, many industries are developing their own blockchain-based solutions, looking to replace their existing database and record-keeping systems with one that works faster and is far more secure. 
  In this book, you will learn:What blockchain isHow blockchain works – a brief overview and a more technical lookThe history of blockchain technology and BitcoinThe advantages and disadvantages of blockchain technologyHow blockchain works with the financial industryHow it works with other industriesHow decentralized apps and smart contracts workWhat the proof-of-work concept is and how it worksThe current and future use cases for the blockchainWhat Ripple and the R3 consortium areAnd much more 
  The blockchain has already changed the world in so many ways, and most of us aren’t even aware that the systems we’ve used every day have changed. Not every blockchain is decentralized; some still have a centralized intermediary. Not every blockchain is open-source. Banks, governments, and financial institutions are all maintaining control but in a more open, secure way that is far less open to fraud than previous financial transaction systems.
