Blockchain technology promises to revolutionize many aspects of how we do business and, if you believe the blockchain hype (of which there is plenty), may even be as disruptive as the internet was before it. Despite this, practical, real-world examples of blockchain technology can be a little thin on the …
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that blockchain and distributed ledger technology is yesterday’s news. In fact, it’s still very much in its infancy – only a relatively small number of organizations have achieved a sufficient level of maturity in their digital operations that they are in a position to successfully leverage it. The future of blockchain is very much intertwined with other emerging and nascent technologies like AI and IoT.
Many governments worldwide are looking at using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other cognitive technologies as part of making their operations more efficient, better serving their citizens, and increasing the range of ways they can meet their missions.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a market is full of hype, with vendors, customers, and press all speaking breathlessly about the capabilities for AI in general and their offerings specifically. Likewise, blockchain is also a widely hyped market, with technology providers and customers claiming all sorts of capabilities that may or may not be possible. Combining AI and blockchain then must be double the hype? On the other hand, AI is providing real, tangible value in many myriad ways we talk about every day. Likewise, blockchain is starting to show value across a range of applications and industry. So, perhaps combining AI and blockchain will also show twice the value combined together.
