As an important enabler for changing people’s lives, advances in artificial intelligence (AI)-based applications and services are on the rise, despite being hindered by efficiency and latency issues. By focusing on deep learning as the most representative technique of AI, this book provides a comprehensive overview of how AI services are being applied to the network edge near the data sources, and demonstrates how AI and edge computing can be mutually beneficial. To do so, it introduces and ...

This book examines whether the integration of edge intelligence (EI) and blockchain (BC) can open up new horizons for providing ubiquitous intelligent services. Accordingly, the authors conduct a summarization of the recent research efforts on the existing works for EI and BC, further painting a comprehensive picture of the limitation of EI and why BC could benefit EI. To examine how to integrate EI and BC, the authors discuss the BC-driven EI and tailoring BC to EI, including an overview,...
