Book excerpt: Innovative Engineering with AI Applications Innovative Engineering with AI Applications demonstrates how we can innovate in different engineering domains as well as how to make most business problems simpler by applying AI to them. Engineering advancements combined with artificial intelligence (AI), have resulted in a hyper-connected society in which smart devices are not only used to exchange data but also have increased capabilities. These devices are becoming more context-aware and smarter by the day. This timely book shows how organizations, who want to innovate and adapt, can enter new markets using expertise in various emerging technologies (e.g. data, AI, system architecture, blockchain), and can build technology-based business models, a culture of innovation, and high-performing networks. The book specifies an approach that anyone can use to better architect, design, and more effectively build things that are technically novel, useful, and valuable, and to do so efficiently, on-time, and repeatable. Audience The book is essential to AI product developers, business leaders in all industries and organizational domains. Researchers, academicians, and students in the AI field will also benefit from reading this book.
