How blockchain technology could revolutionize the art market
The technology underpinning blockchain is a powerful decentralizing network architecture that could revolutionize many industries. Now, some artists are leveraging blockchain to help guarantee the authenticity of their work — and ensure that they get paid. Miles O’Brien reports on how digital documentation is putting power back into artists’ hands, even when no tangible object exists.

AI for Humans Trailer
Artificial Intelligence is the most remarkable technology of our time, and it’s starting to affect every single aspect of our lives. Despite it’s massive impact, there is still so much misunderstanding about what it is, how it works, and what we can use it to do.
The high-stakes race to make quantum computers work
Quantum computers could eventually outstrip the computational limits of classical computers. They rely on the behavior of atomic and subatomic particles, whose quantum states are incredibly fragile and easily destroyed— which is why this technology remains largely theoretical. How would quantum computers work, and are they really possible? Chiara Decaroli investigates.
Futurist Conference Panel Discussion: The Future of AI & Blockchain
Ben Goertzel speaks about AI governance and control. He says “Whoever controls the AI, whoever owns the AI, controls and owns the world.” He goes on to say that it could be controlled by a few corporations or by the people via decentralization through blockchain. He also discusses that decentralized AI needs to be cheaper, smarter and more efficient than centralized systems.
Toufi Saliba speaks about how the promise of blockchain reduces the friction of business transactions and interactions while increasing security of AI with the intention of empowering indiividuals and the majority of the world, vs a few owners.
Chantel Costa speaks about the dichotomy of AI becoming centralized to a few entities vs being of available and accessible to the general public. Blockchain provides more transparency in AI by providing a transparent audit trail. She advocates that Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple should not lead the way.
Demystifying Nanotech | Ethan Hsiao | TEDxMeritAcademy
Despite the highly difficult “for-geniuses-only” stigma of nanotechnology, the truth is that everyone can understand nanotech and expand its reaches through their own contributions.
Ethan Hsiao discusses finding a new, unprecedented crystal structure while analyzing the ratios of the amount of chemicals (precursor molar ratios) in the chemical reaction that results in the product MoS2, a 2D material. These results could have implications on the industrial implementation of transistors and nano-LEDs, as well as lead to a better understanding of how MoS2 synthesis works.
A high school senior, Ethan is passionate about nanoscience and materials science and by the interdisciplinary component that they encompass. He researched the synthesis of a 2D material that had a variety of applications in nanotech. Ethan hopes to give a glimpse of what makes nanotech exciting.
“Holacracy” by Brian Robertson – Book Summary
The Holacracy’s structure resembles how nature organizes systems like the human body, where cells function autonomously within organs, which in turn function autonomously within the body.
The main idea behind this new system is that today’s companies have to survive in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment that requires an equally dynamic organizational structure in order to properly address new challenges and opportunities. The solution germinated from the observation that humans have a unique ability to sense tension within an organization, which is defined as recognizing the gap of what currently exists, and what could be–the current reality… and the sensed potential.

How Does Tokenization Work – Introduction to Tokenization
Tokenization allows for data to be stored in a secure location, with several levels of authentication required for access, while a random token is used online as a placeholder. The token alone is useless should hackers or malware gain access to it. Tokenization was first introduced in 2005 and has been recommended since 2011 by the Payment Card Industry Security Standard Council. In this introduction, we provide some elements of comparison between encryption and tokenization and walk you through how tokenization works.
