Machine Readable Me
As we go about our day-to-day lives, digital information about who we are is gathered from all angles via biometric scans, passport applications, and, of course, social media. This data can never fully capture our complex, fluid identities over decades of our lives. Yet, this data populates numerous databases we may not even be aware of that can make life-or-death decisions such as who is allowed access to welfare benefits or who is granted food parcels as they pass war-torn borders.Machine Readable Me considers how and why data that is gathered about us is increasingly limiting what we can and can't do in our lives and, crucially, what the alternatives are.Zara Rahman is a British-Bangladeshi researcher and writer based in Berlin whose interests lie at the intersection of power, technology and justice. For over a decade, she has worked in civil society to support activists from around the world to support context-driven and thoughtful uses of technology and data.

Fintech and Cryptocurrency
FINTECH AND CRYPTOCURRENCYDIVE INTO THE WORLD OF FINTECH AND CRYPTOCURRENCY THROUGH THE ENGAGING PERSPECTIVES OF THIS DIVERSE GROUP OF AUTHORS AND UNCOVER THE INTRICATE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY, FINANCE, AND CRYPTOCURRENCY THAT MAKE THIS A MUST-HAVE FOR ANYONE INTRIGUED BY THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL SOCIETY.Digital currencies, decentralization of money, and the growth of new technologies like blockchain, the Internet of Things, and machine learning have produced new opportunities and difficulties for banking and finance, as well as users of these services in electronic commerce. New banking and finance technologies may improve operational efficiency, risk management, compliance, and client pleasure, but they can decrease barriers and introduce new concerns, such as cybersecurity risk. Cryptocurrencies with smart contracts for payments and trading, as well as AI systems with adaptive algorithms that allow picture and speech recognition, expert judgement, group categorization, and forecasting in a variety of fields, are instances of increased automation. Simultaneously, the potentials pose risks and raise regulatory concerns. The rise of blockchain technology and its widespread use have had a significant impact on the operation and management of digital systems. At the same time, researchers and practitioners have paid close attention to digital finance. Blockchain’s first applications were limited to the production of digital currency, but it has now been expanded to include financial and commercial applications. Innovative digital finance has had a huge impact on business and society since it has been extensively adopted by businesses and consumers. As a result, the goal of this edited book is to expand and deepen our knowledge of the business possibilities of novel blockchain and digital financial applications.

Künstliche Intelligenz und schlanke Produktion
Dieses Buch wendet künstliche Intelligenz auf die schlanke Produktion an und zeigt, wie sich die Vorteile dieser beiden Disziplinen praktisch kombinieren lassen. Die schlanke Produktion hat ihren Ursprung in Japan und ist ein bekanntes Instrument zur Verbesserung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Hersteller. Zu den gängigen Werkzeugen der schlanken Produktion gehören Kanban, Pacemaker, Wertstromkarte, 5s, Just-in-Time und Pull Manufacturing. Lean Manufacturing und das Toyota-Produktionssystem wurden in verschiedenen Fabriken und Lieferketten auf der ganzen Welt erfolgreich eingesetzt. Ein schlankes Fertigungssystem kann nicht nur Verschwendung und Lagerbestände reduzieren, sondern auch unmittelbarer auf Kundenbedürfnisse reagieren. Künstliche Intelligenz ist ein Thema, das in letzter Zeit viel Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen hat. Viele Forscher und praktische Entwickler arbeiten hart daran, künstliche Intelligenz in unserem täglichen Leben anzuwenden, auch in Fabriken. So wurden beispielsweise Fuzzy-Regeln zur Optimierung von Maschineneinstellungen entwickelt. Es wurden bionische Algorithmen vorgeschlagen, um Probleme bei der Produktionsreihenfolge und -planung zu lösen. Technologien des maschinellen Lernens werden eingesetzt, um mögliche Probleme mit der Produktqualität zu erkennen und den Zustand einer Maschine zu diagnostizieren. Dieses Buch ist für Produktionsingenieure, Manager sowie für Studenten und Forscher im Bereich der Fertigungstechnik von Interesse. Kapitel 1. Grundlagen des Lean Management - Kapitel 2. KI in der Fertigung.- Kapitel 3. KI-Anwendungen für das Kaizen-Management - Kapitel 4. KI-Anwendungen für Pull Manufacturing und JIT - Kapitel 5. KI-Anwendungen für das Produktions-Leveling - Kapitel 6. KI-Anwendungen für das Shop Floor Management: 5S, Kanban, SMED.- Kapitel 7. KI-Anwendungen für Value Stream Mapping.
