      Putting AI in the Critical Loop: Assured Trust and Autonomy in Human-Machine Teams takes on the primary challenges of bidirectional trust and performance of autonomous systems, providing readers with a review of the latest literature, the science of autonomy, and a clear path towards the autonomy of human-machine teams and systems. Throughout this book, the intersecting themes of collective intelligence, bidirectional trust, and continual assurance form the challenging and extraordinarily interesting themes which will help lay the groundwork for the audience to not only bridge knowledge gaps, but also to advance this science to develop better solutions. The distinctively different characteristics and features of humans and machines are likely why they have the potential to work well together, overcoming each other's weaknesses through cooperation, synergy, and interdependence which forms a “collective intelligence.” Trust is bidirectional and two-sided; humans need to trust AI technology, but future AI technology may also need to trust humans.

      The Essential Criteria of Graph Databases collects several truly innovative graph applications in asset-liability and liquidity risk management to spark readers’ interest and further broaden the reach and applicable domains of graph systems. Although AI has incredible potential, it has three weak links: 1. Blackbox, lack of explainability, 2. Silos, slews of siloed systems across the AI ecosystem, 3. Low-performance, as most of ML/DL based AI systems are SLOW. Hence, fixing these problems paves the road to strong and effective AI.
