AI and blockchain are two technologies currently changing the world. AI is already impacting the crypto world by, say, helping to detect fraud, or creating art for NFTs.

However, blockchain technologies encompass far more than buying coins or NFT’s. They provide the backbone for secure decentralized immutable data infrastructures (which current (cloud) databases cannot provide, and, more importantly, never will) that users can trust to build end-to-end solutions such as supply chain management, to track everything, from the purchase of raw materials to the delivery of the final products. At the moment, this is an impossible task for traditional technologies due to the variety of actors, languages, and regulations at every level.

As participants will discover, there is a deep synergy (a true ‘fusion’) between both technologies that can achieve things that are more than the sum of both parts. Things that were considered science-fiction up until recently. For instance, uploading brain waves to create a person’s online avatar (like in the movie “The Matrix”). But that, again, requires a totally secure and open data environment that only blockchain technologies can provide, as ‘permissionless’ (i.e. anyone can participate) blockchains such as Bitcoin or Ethereum have proven.

In other words, both worlds need each other to go beyond what they are capable of individually because they solve each other’s issues. But we need to properly understand this first, and then look for new, groundbreaking applications.
