Handbook of Blockchain, Digital Finance, and Inclusion, Second Edition presents the latest technological developments and innovations occurring in financial institutions and the engineering advances driving them. Students, scholars, and professionals can explore practical and academic contributions not usually found together in a single resource. Volume 3: Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Mobile Security, and Regulation includes seven entirely new chapters on Generative AI and Blockchain, Convergence of AI and Blockchain, Transformation of Digital Banking Back-Office Operations using AI, AI and Web 3, Machine Learning on Blockchain, Blockchain-enabled Decentralized Network Trust Management, and Using AI to Create a Multi-dimensional Model of Macroeconomic Regimes.

Newly expanded into three volumes, this handbook not only emphasizes the financial opportunities made possible by digital banking, such as financial inclusion and impact investing, but it also presents the engineering theories and advances that can create additional opportunities. It provides a collection of contributions by pioneers, academics, and practitioners carefully chosen as established experts in their respective fields. Each chapter reviews, synthesizes, and analyzes the topic at hand, acknowledges areas where there are gaps between theory and practice, and suggests directions for future research when appropriate. The volumes are reorganized into distinct themes, every existing chapter is updated with the latest information, and new chapters bring even more valuable information to readers.

This handbook serves as a valuable reference to an international audience that wants to learn not only about their own fields of specialization but also fields related to theirs. It bridges the gap between the practical usability and the academic perspective, written in a language assessable to practitioners and graduate students alike.
