“Because something is
happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you,
Mister Jones?”
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain.
--Just Some of What They Are Saying--
"Garimella and Fingar provide
a snapshot in time of the emerging and interwined areas of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain. The wide range
of applications investigated across industries, by itself,
makes this a "must skim" book. Vint Cerf's Foreword nails it
as well - don't fall for the hype, but don't ignore this
stuff either, both are trying to solve really hard problems,
and making some progress."
"At the least in this book,
you will have had a pretty thorough visit to the zoo and
gained some familiarity with the characteristics of the
denizens to be found there."
"Game changers have an
opportunity to be part of the flow or risk being tossed
about in the maelstrom." - Amit Varma, Vice President - Technology, Citigroup

It provides a comprehensive and sometime breathtaking look at the intersection of two of the most discussed technological advancements - AI and Blockchain. Time well-invested and with looking left and right to related technologies as well as manifold use-cases. It’s an energy pill to take further action. - Tom Linckens, EVP & CIO, Bertlesmann
Garimella and Fingar have produced a concise, taut work that resists the temptation to paint a rainbow-filled Jetsonian utopia. Rather, they canvass the likely-good along with the likely-bad possibilities of these technologies in a sober and compelling way. Their work goes well beyond geeks and technocrats as an audience—indeed, it is a curious synthesis and distillation that will inform business leaders as well as social leaders. It demystifies and clarifies what we can expect and what we can do. - Dr. Chris Stout, VP, Center for Global Health, University of Illinois
We live in the Age of Disruption. Every industry, function, and market is being disrupted by AI, Machine Learning, and Predictive Analytics. No one is immune. Garimella and Fingar provide Business Leaders with fresh insights on how to navigate these emerging technologies, so companies can focus on disrupting themselves—before they are disrupted. - Cate Gutowski, SVP of Global Sales & Service, Panasonic Avionics
This is the essential
guide for CIOs and other business leaders. This is not a
technical tome; this is a well-organized, thoughtful, and
most importantly, practical guide. The authors address the
potential societal implications as well, in a calm and
realistic manner, not fear-mongering as so many journalists
are doing today. I highly recommend AI+Blockchain for
anyone interested in where our world is going and how to
successfully ride the wave.
This book is a gentle reminder that there is nothing to unlearn, as the concept of AI, Machine Learning, and Blockchain existed since the very inception of computing and data processing. Despite the challenges, their confluence is a possibility. Their applications are limitless and disruptive. To the list of questions the authors pose, let me add, “If not now, when?” - Sreekumar Govindan, CIO, Illinois Emergency Management Agency
AI and blockchain are disrupting almost all industries. As Garimella and Fingar point out, it seems no one and nothing will be immune from this disruption. Their emphasis on the many opportunities for turning such disruption into a social good beyond just the more immediate commercial benefits is especially satisfying. - Michael Nall, CPA, CM&AA, CGMA; Founder, Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors; Co-Founder, MidMarket Alliance
I agree with the
importance of combining Data, AI, & Distributed Ledger
Technology for creating transformational solutions and to
avoid siloes.
This is a very valuable and highly readable book on two of the most important technologies of our times. Ignore at your own risk. - Mohan Bavirisetty, Ph.D., Chief Scientist, Modern Renaissance Corporation
This is an empowering guide for today’s big thinkers to build trans-formational businesses. - Jarrod Anderson, CEO, IoT Cybernetics, Inc.
The authors make an easily digestible case for seizing upon two of today's most impactful technologies. They offer a smorgasbord of use cases to chew on, but more importantly, project the implications of pairing these technologies in coming years. Timely, strategic, and tactical, this is a "must read” book that will separate the game changers from the change gamers. - Dennis Hill, Ph.D., Executive Change Agent, Sagacity; Board Member, Exacta
This book gives readers an understanding of the building blocks, the trajectories, and the emerging synergies between AI and blockchain. It considers how, fueled by the growing availability of big data, they look set to transform industries. It equips those who might participate with a way to start engaging in this future. - Dr. Luke Deer, Research Affiliate, The University of Sydney
This book is an excellent
articulation on the emergence of Blockchain and AI how they
will change the way businesses are run. It is a must read to
understand how these technologies will disrupt incumbent
ecosystems.
Kiran and Peter have crafted a great book that separates the hype from the reality and doesn't get caught up in limiting ideas of a 4th Industrial Revolution. Just as important is their coverage of social and societal impacts way beyond just the technologies which also need deep consideration. I would heartily recommend this stimulating book. The imperative is to take action now before it is too late. - Neil Pearce, Group CIO & Strategic Board Advisor
This book gives huge
insights into AI and blockchain in simple terms
understandable to non-technical people. This book is a
must-read book for all students, employees, and corporate
leaders as the world is going to witness huge changes in the
coming years.
A well-researched book outlining the current trends in Information technology and the era of Digital transformation and what to expect in the world of tomorrow. - Chandima Miyanadeniya, Head of Architecture – EMEA, Aon
It is intriguing to think about how AI can support complex trust models in blockchains. There are many use cases for each type of blockchain and trust model. The challenge of the future will be our ability to integrate multiple assets in multiple blockchains. - Mario Rodríguez Somohano, CEO, Bambusoft |
