  • The Emergence and Role of AI-Powered Influencers and Virtual Brand Ambassadors
    L. B. Muralidhar, N. Sathyanarayana, Y. Santhosh, R. Shilpa, R. Arun
    AI Virtualization and the Future of Marketing, 2025
    AI-powered influencers and virtual brand ambassadors are transforming digital marketing through artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer-generated imagery, enhancing consumer engagement. Scalability, consistency, and budget-friendliness, combined with a reduced risk of human interaction, make virtual entities a preferred option for brands. AI influencers leverage big data and predictive analysis to provide hyper-personalised messaging, fostering increased interaction and loyalty among the target audience. As AI-powered influencers are increasingly adopted in the retail, fashion, and healthcare sectors, concerns regarding authenticity, transparency, and the responsible use of AI must be addressed through legislation. Furthermore, as AI-powered influencers penetrate these sectors, the psychological impact, data security concerns, and legal uncertainties must be continuously monitored and analysed. Integrating AI with augmented reality, virtual reality, and blockchain will propel future innovation in influencer marketing, striking a balance between technology and ethics.

  • The Quantum Advantage in Future Technologies for Supply Chain Optimization
    L. B. Muralidhar, R. Shilpa, V. Lava Kumar, Y. Santhosh, V. S. Vainik
    Transforming Sustainability and Value Creation with Logistics and Supply Chain Management, 2025
    Globalization, fluctuating demand, and the need for real-time responses have stretched global supply chains to their limits, which the traditional systems cannot handle. Quantum computing, through superposition, entanglement, and parallelism, offers transformational solutions to route optimization, inventory balancing, demand forecasting, and risk mitigation. Advanced quantum algorithms unlock unprecedented processing of vast datasets, predictive precision, and unparalleled efficiency in decision-making. However, high costs, limited access, and integration issues hamper this adoption. This chapter, therefore, focuses on how these challenges can be overcome through collaboration among technology providers, logistics experts, and academia. It follows with a proposed roadmap for integrating quantum computing into supply chain systems, followed by practical use cases and future research directions.
