This book is targeted to help a broad audience such as students, professionals, and business and technology managers to learn about the possibilities created by the convergence of blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The book takes you from the convergence of blockchain and IoT, via the most important Blockchain of Things projects like IOTA and the industries which are heavily being disrupted, into the Blockchain of Intelligent Things, which essentially adds the business value of data science and AI. Further topics you will find in this book include required skills, jobs and future, Industrial IoT (IIoT) platforms, and opportunities, challenges, and trends of the Blockchain of Intelligent Things.

With the history of cybercrime, Internet of Things (IoT) systems are not safe today. Hackers could attack different components—the physical device, the network, the encryption, or the software. It means that the obvious issues of privacy, security, and identity verification must be addressed. Blockchain technology answers the issues of trust, privacy, single point of failure, scalability, record keeping, timestamping, and consistent reliability. Together with IoT, it could build a healthy system which allows devices to register and validate themselves on the network, while business activities could execute automatically through smart contracts. There would be no worry about attacks like denial of service or identity theft because there will be no single point of failure in such a system.

The first chapters of the book take you from the convergence of blockchain and IoT, via an overview of the most important blockchain of things projects such as IOTA, and the industries, which are heavily being disrupted, into the blockchain of intelligent things, which essentially adds the business value of data science and AI. Further topics you will find in this book include chapters such as required skills, jobs and future, industrial IoT (IIoT) platforms, and opportunities, challenges, and trends of the blockchain of intelligent things. Readers looking for a methodology to engage in blockchain, IoT, and/or AI projects, can find a comprehensive
description in my previous book New World Technologies: 2020 and Beyond.
