      Learning-Driven Game Theory for AI: Concepts, Models, and Applications offers in-depth coverage of recent methodological and conceptual advancements in various disciplines of Dynamic Games, namely differential and discrete-time dynamic games, evolutionary games, repeated and stochastic games, and their applications in a variety of fields, such as computer science, biology, economics, and management science. In this book, the authors bridge the gap between traditional game theory and its modern applications in artificial intelligence (AI) and related technological fields. The dynamic nature of contemporary problems in robotics, cybersecurity, machine learning, and multi-agent systems requires game-theoretic solutions that go beyond classical methods. The book delves into the rapidly growing intersection of pursuit differential games and AI, focusing on how these advanced game-theoretic models can be applied to modern AI systems, making it an indispensable resource for both academics and professionals. The book also provides a variety of applications demonstrating the practical integration of AI and game theory across various disciplines, such as autonomous systems, federated learning, and distributed decision-making frameworks. The book also explores the use of game theory in reinforcement learning, swarm intelligence, multi-agent coordination, and cybersecurity. These are critical areas where AI and dynamic games converge. Each chapter covers a different facet of dynamic games, offering readers a comprehensive yet focused exploration of topics such as differential and discrete-time games, evolutionary dynamics, and repeated and stochastic games. The absence of static games ensures a concentrated focus on the dynamic, evolving problems that are most relevant today.

      The introduction of sensor networks into the home environment allows automation into the home, utilising internet of things (IoT) devices to programme, for example, door opening, room luminosity, room temperature, and humidity. Digital Twin technology extends the capabilities of the smart home, collecting and analysing data from the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and applying Human Activity Recognition (HAR) algorithms to provide adaptive services, including minimizing power consumption, improving healthcare, and enhancing overall well-being. However, there are many challenges when applying these algorithms to the smart home due to the variability and sparsity of sensor data, which can lead to a mismatch between the real home and the digital home. Home Digital Twins explores how digital twin technologies can serve as a bridge between the real home and the virtual home. It explains how IoT devices, wearable sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) can aid in the diagnosis, prediction and prevention of abnormal/critical/ex... problems in real home environments, and shows how digital twin computing can support the management of home energy consumption to optimise everyday living. The book also considers the security and ethical implications of introducing digital twin technology in the home to ensure the technology benefit the lives of the home's inhabitants.

      Large Language Models (LLMs) are a form of generative AI, based on Deep Learning, that rely on very large textual datasets, and are composed of hundreds of millions (or even billions) of parameters. LLMs can be trained and then refined to perform several NLP tasks like generation of text, summarization, translation, prediction, and more. Challenges and Applications of Generative Large Language Models assists readers in understanding LLMs, their applications in various sectors, challenges that need to be encountered while developing them, open issues, and ethical concerns. LLMs are just one approach in the huge set of methodologies provided by AI. The book, describing strengths and weaknesses of such models, enables researchers and software developers to decide whether an LLM is the right choice for the problem they are trying to solve. AI is the new buzzword, in particular Generative AI for human language (LLMs). As such, an overwhelming amount of hype is obfuscating and giving a distorted view about AI in general, and LLMs in particular. Thus, trying to provide an objective description of LLMs is useful to any person (researcher, professional, student) who is starting to work with human language. The risk, otherwise, is to forget the whole set of methodologies developed by AI in the last decades, sticking with only one model which, although very powerful, has known weaknesses and risks. Given the high level of hype around such models, Challenges and Applications of Generative Large Language Models (LLMs) enables readers to clarify and understand their scope and limitations.
