Intelligent Systems for Social Good (eBook)

This book highlights the connections between two technologies: artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IoT). It presents the application of these two technologies to solve various societal problems related to healthcare, agriculture, green environment, renewable energies, smart cities, etc. Each chapter in this book presents novel solutions to these problems along with the challenges in the application of AI and IoT to solve them. It discusses the adverse attacks on machine Learning models and how to protect sensitive data over the IoT networks. It also includes the security issues in IoT and their possible solutions.
