Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive perspective on issues related to the trustworthiness of information in the emerging “Smart City.” Interrelated topics associated with the veracity of information are presented and discussed by authors with authoritative perspectives from multiple fields. The focus on security, veracity, and trustworthiness of information, data, societal structure and related topics in connected cities is timely, important, and uniquely presented. The authors cover issues related to the proliferation of disinformation and the mechanics of trust in modern society. 

Topical issues include trust in technologies, such as the use of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), the importance of encryption and cybersecurity, and the value of protecting of critical infrastructure.  Structural issues include legal and governmental institutions, including the basis and importance of these fundamental components of society. Functional issues also include issues of societal trust related to healthcare, medical practitioners, and the dependence on reliability of scientific results.

Insightful background on the development of AI is provided, and the use of this compelling technology in applications spanning networks, supply chains, and business practices are discussed by practitioners with direct knowledge and convincing perspective. These thought-provoking opinions from notable industry, academia, medicine, law, and government leaders provide substantial benefit for a variety of stakeholders.
