SCOPE and MOTIVATION
Blockchain is an open-source distributed database using state-of-the-art cryptography through a distributed ledger that enables trust among disparate individuals or third parties. Blockchain gives us a payment and data-integrity platform that can help build trust in digital environments. AI gives computers an unbounded intelligence that is starting to rival the human mind. At present, there is very little crossover between the two disciplines. Each offers a vastly different value proposition to its users, who, in turn, must acquire different skill sets and master different technology.
But looking into the near future, this situation is changing rapidly. Blockchains can now accommodate large transaction volumes, opening up use cases in data services. For AI, this means that our algorithms can have integrity: we can be sure of the training set, algorithm development, and verifiable computation. This results in greater trust in our AI models and the removal of ambiguity and doubt. Successful models can also be reinforced by positive incentive models paid out in native blockchain tokens or other digital assets. Blockchain-based identity management can also help protect computers against complex human vs. AI identity questions in advertising and other consumer-facing services.
This symposium seeks high-quality and innovative technical articles from industry and academic blockchain experts to address future network topics. Priority will be given to real-world use cases that can be implemented today.
