Because the blockchain is a secure system that enables a trusted network it may be described as a value-exchange protocol. In this respect, it is often said that what the web did for the exchange of information the blockchain does for the exchange of value. Just as the web revolutionized the use and exchange of information within society disrupting whole industries based upon the centralization of information, so to the blockchain is set to do the same for the recording and exchange of all forms of quantifiable value.
How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing The Art World
Artists are using artificial intelligence to make art, and now the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MIT and Microsoft are teaming up to predict what will appeal to art lovers based on their social media profiles and preferences
Blockchain 8: Distributed Applications
A Dapp is an application that runs on a network in a distributed fashion with participant information securely protected and operations executed in a decentralized fashion across a network of nodes. Dapps use open source code, operate autonomously with data and records cryptographically stored on a blockchain
Blockchain 7: Smart Contracts
One of the key technological innovations of blockchain 2.0 has been the development of what are called smart contracts. Smart contracts are computer code that are stored inside of a blockchain which encodes contractual agreements. Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement or operation directly written into lines of code which are stored and executed on the blockchain computer.
Blockchain 6: Distributed Ledger
A distributed ledger can be described as a ledger of any transactions or contracts supported by a decentralized network from across different locations and people, eliminating the need for a central authority. All the information on it is securely and accurately stored using cryptography and can be accessed using keys and cryptographic signatures. Any changes or additions made to the ledger are reflected and copied to all participants in a matter of seconds or minutes.
Blockchain In 7 Minutes
This video presents what led to the creation of Blockchain, what Blockchain is, how a Bitcoin transaction works, how Blockchain plays an integral role in it with features like hash encryption, proof of work and mining and how Blockchain technology is used in real life scenarios.
Why Build on EOSIO? (Promo Video)
Block.one is a software company that is producing the EOSIO software as a free, open-source protocol. This software may, among other things, enable those who deploy it to launch a blockchain, or decentralized applications with various features.
Artificial Intelligence & the Future

According to the report How AI Boosts Industry Profits and Innovations, AI is predicted to increase economic growth by an average of 1.7 percent across 16 industries by 2035. The report goes on to say that, by 2035, AI technologies could increase labor productivity by 40 percent or more, thereby doubling economic growth in 12 developed nations that continue to draw talented and experienced professionals to work in this domain. Let us see what our business leaders have to say about this.
The New York Times reports a candidate shortage for certified AI Engineers, with fewer than 10,000 qualified people in the world to fill these jobs, which according to Paysa earn an average salary of $172,000 per year in the U.S. for engineers with the required skills.
Blockchain 5: Distributed Organizations
The information revolution is in the process of taking us into a new world of distributed networks as the organizational paradigm of the information age. The combination of telecommunication networks and computerized coordination enables us to replace centralized management within closed hierarchies with open networks. As the underlying technology matures we are able to convert more and more systems that were previously closed and centralized and have them manage through automated networks.
Blockchain 4: Decentralized Web
We have talked in previous videos about blockchain technology and its evolution, but its true significance and potential can only really be understood in the context of broader technological change brought about in the ongoing evolution of the internet and information technology. Today powerful new technologies are coalescing to take us into a new technological paradigm, these include the rise of advanced analytics coupled with datafication and the Internet of Things, the blockchain will have to work synergistically with these if the true capacities are to be realized.
