The Synergistic Relationship between AI and the Economy
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming various aspects of the economy, including manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and transportation. AI-powered systems are augmenting human decision-making, reducing operational costs, enhancing productivity, and creating new business models. However, the integration of AI into the economy also poses several challenges, such as job displacement, economic inequality, and ethical concerns. This research explores the complex relationship between AI and the economy, highlighting the opportunities and challenges that arise from their synergy.

Distributed and Localisation System for Crude Oil Pipelines
Crude oil leakages and spills (OLS) are some of the problems attributed to pipeline failures in the oil and gas industry’s midstream sector. Consequently, they are monitored via several leakage detection and localisation techniques (LDTs) comprising classical methods and, recently, Internet of Things (IoT)-based systems via wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

Smart Cities: Opportunities and Risks
Smart Cities are emerging as a promising solution to the challenges of urbanization, population growth, and environmental sustainability. By utilizing advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Smart Cities can improve the efficiency of urban services, enhance citizen engagement, and promote environmental sustainability. However, Smart Cities also face significant risks, including data privacy and security concerns, unequal access to technology, potential for social exclusion, pollution, and accidents caused by modern technologies. The opportunities and risks of Smart Cities, as well as open challenges, future directions, recommendations for governments, and ways to address pollution in Smart Cities were discussed here.

Security of the Internet of Things
Due to the widespread use of the Internet of Things (IoT), organizations should concentrate their efforts on system security. Any vulnerability could lead to a system failure or cyberattack, which would have a large-scale impact. With billions of interconnected devices, ensuring robust security measures is crucial to safeguard sensitive data, protect user privacy, and mitigate potential cyber threats. Failure to prioritize IoT security could have far-reaching consequences, jeopardizing individuals, organizations, and even critical infrastructure. IoT security is a protection strategy and defense mechanism that protects against the possibility of cyberattacks that specifically target physically linked IoT devices. IoT security teams are currently dealing with growing difficulties, such as inventories, operations, diversity, ownership, data volume, threats, etc.

Deep Learning-Based Methods for Crop Disease Estimation
Deep learning methods such as U-Net, SegNet, YOLO, Faster R-CNN, VGG and ResNet have been used extensively for crop disease estimation using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery. The basic building block of the deep learning architecture is basically the success of convolutional neural networks (CNN). The deep learning models implemented for crop disease estimation using UAV imagery can be categorized into classification-based, segmentation-based and detection-based approaches. Segmentation-based models attempt to classify each pixel in an image into different categories such as healthy vs. diseased pixels, whereas classification-based models look into overall images and classify the image into pre-defined disease classes.
