Description
Summary:"Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain for Social Impact provides an accessible overview of AI and blockchain technologies, and explores their applications for social enterprise and impact investing. The opening chapter introduces the impact space, exploring different social business models, the role of technology, the impact investing market and general problems in the space. The remainder of the book falls into two paths: the first focusing on artificial intelligence and the other looking at blockchain. Providing introductions to each of these technologies and their histories, the author goes on to examine them from the perspectives of social business models and impact finance. A concluding chapter explores artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies in the impact space in the future. Readers are supported with international case studies, discussion questions and other student-friendly features.

It also offers an introduction to this emerging topic for researchers and business professionals"--
