Where the rubber meets the road: Blockchain, AI and automobiles – IoT Agenda
It is the Internet of Things, but with an enterprise angle. Take that to mean industry vertical applications, development ecosystems, product design, hardware, deployment and more.
Between coin heists and ICOs, much of the attention around blockchain technology centers on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. (There’s even a bitcoin heist movie, if you’re interested). But as blockchain, the technology that underlies bitcoin and its brethren, grows in usage, there are intriguing opportunities for AI to work with it to transform the way all manner of financial transactions occur, and not just in the financial industry.
Blockchain technology will soon record “time chains of events,” as applied to contracts, interactions and occurrences. In these “time chains,” people and the items we interact with will have encrypted identities. The blockchain that is distributed will be the single source of truth, allowing audit trails of data usage in models, particularly in data permission rights.
