It's Just Technology
Game Theory is the study of strategic decision making.
Game Theory is a core principle of blockchain systems. If you’ve wondered how every individual Bitcoin node works together, Game Theory is your answer.
Game Theory incentivizes people who don’t know each other to work together successfully.
A token represents a security or utility that a company has and they usually give it away to their investors during a public sale called ICO (Initial Coin Offering), in the case of utility tokens, and STO (Security Token Offerings), in the case of security tokens.
While utility and security tokens might seem similar on the surface, there’s actually some pretty complex differences behind them. Are they regulated or unregulated? Who can they be sold to? What is the purpose of the token? All of these questions can decided what is or isn’t a utility token. What about the Howey Test?
In 1946, the Supreme Court handled a monumental case. The case was SEC vs Howey which would lay down the foundation for the, now infamous Howey Test. The case was about establishing a test of whether a particular arrangement involves an investment contract or not.
The SEC and Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) have broken down tokens into two broad categories:
Because most of the ICOs are investment opportunities in the company itself, most tokens qualify as securities. However, if the token doesn’t qualify according to the Howey test, then it classifies as utility tokens. These tokens simply provide users with a product and/or service. Think of them like gateway tokens.
Developed by Brendan Eich, the Basic Attention Token is a project that aims to make the online advertising space better for everyone.
The Basic Attention Token (BAT) is a digital advertising token which is built on the Ethereum blockchain. The purpose of BAT is to create an ad exchange marketplace which will connect advertisers, publishers and users in a decentralized manner so as to monetize user attention and remove all the other needless expenditure related to ad networks.
In brief, users get paid to provide their attention to ads. The system has to be fair to all the participants: users, advertisers and content publishers.
BAT works in the Brave browser which gets rid of all ads, but if you turn them on, you get paid for watching ads.
MetaX is attempting to solve the problem of fraud in the digital advertising world by establishing a common language and universal data set called adChain on blockchain, in this case Ethereum.
For nearly 40 years, Geoff Hinton has been trying to get computers to learn like people do, a quest almost everyone thought was crazy or at least hopeless – right up until the moment it revolutionized the field.
Digital technologies are transforming the ways in which content and creative are developed. Heat President, Mike Barrett and Deloitte Digital Chief Creative Officer, Alan Schulman discuss the use of AI to forecast future trends and generate creative content based off of these predictions.
Quantum computing can solve problems that would take classic computer a lifetime to process. Quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, that researchers believe will be able to process information exponentially faster than any computer we have today. Researchers also believe that quantum computing will help humanity solve some of the toughest problems facing our existence. This video also discusses topological qubits, which are considered to be more stable.
Andy Chan is a Product Manager at Infinia ML, an artificial intelligence company that builds custom algorithms and software for Fortune 500 companies.
He talks about the 30 years AI winter and the false start of the promise of AI, after it was initially anticipated to be significant in the 1950s.
He cites autonomous cars as an example where safe performance is better than humans.
Chan also discusses how AI can lead to wide-scale unemployment. However, he also outlines three areas that humans excel: curiosity, communication and empathy.
Humans will be required to define new problem spaces and work with AI to solve them.
He discusses how gamers, hipsters and angel investors revitalized the AI movement of today.
Many tech industry experts believe the idea of a superintelligent or sentient AI is greatly exaggerated and many years away. But there’s AI already in the works to help solve real-world problems that can improve people’s lives.
