The coronavirus pandemic has had a global impact, particularly on procurement and medical supply chains. Blockchain could provide a mechanism for health systems to continually update factories with the latest product requirements and specifications, almost like a production auction. Currently, standards vary across health systems and countries, creating confusion for what each factory should be producing. As governments and businesses around the world start to grapple with the huge task of getting our economies back up and running, the enormity of the challenge is starting to become clear. The world’s industries, particularly those engaged in the medical supply chain, are having to deal with a range of issues, from product requirements through to customs certification, and are often using complex, legacy procurements systems that have struggled during the coronavirus pandemic. These issues mean that it’s hard to verify aspects of production or distribution, resulting in breakdowns of trust across global supply chains. Various innovative solutions have been proposed, and, at the forefront of these, is blockchain technology. Blockchain and COVID-19 – Where can Blockchain be used? Blockchain technology wide range of applications means that it has an increasing platform on the world stage, with the potential to revolutionise health provisioning, accelerate innovation and enable new data-driven intelligence across multiple sectors. Transparency and accountability are precisely what’s needed at this moment in time, as we deal with extensive disruption to global supply chains. The IET has recognised the important role that blockchain is going to play in our futures, and we are launching a new journal to explore, review and promote the technology Blockchain and COVID-19 – Where can Blockchain be used? There are many common questions that arise around Blockchain technologies such as what exactly is Blockchain?, where can Blockchain be used?, how does a block chain work?, what is Blockchain in simple words? what is Blockchain good for and can we trust Blockchain?
The Blockchain and US | Documentary
When the Wright brothers invented the airplane in 1903, it was hard to imagine there would be over 500,000 people traveling in the air at any point in time today.

The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
This video gives a crash course on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. It is my entry into the Breakthrough Junior Challenge. The scripting of this video, in addition to all 1400 hand-drawn frames of original animation, was completed in 15 hours.
Are We Ready For Artificial Intelligence?
From We Need To Talk About A.I. (2020): James Cameron and leading experts explore what an AI future could look like and who might control it. Once thought to exist purely in the realms of science fiction, the creation of a Super Intelligence is becoming more and more likely every day and, should it come to pass, would be the single biggest threat to humanity that has ever existed. From the creators of Beyond The Edge and McLaren and narrated by Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey) this exciting and necessary documentary explores artificial intelligence and the effects it could have on the future of mankind. Featuring interviews with the world’s leading authorities on AI including filmmaker James Cameron, world-renowned physicist Professor Max Tegmark, and neuroscientist and philosopher Dr Sam Harris, as they explore why we need to talk about AI…before it’s too late
Amazon uses artificial intelligence to enforce social distancing
Amazon has unveiled a new artificial intelligence system to monitor social distancing among employees, in the hopes of reducing coronavirus infections. Wired staff writer Louise Matsakis joined CBSN to explain what that new system is and how employees are responding.
How Do Quantum Computers Work?
All the computing devices rely on a very basic ability to store and manipulate information. The classical computers manipulate individual bits and store information as binary 0 and 1 states. But in quantum computers, that’s not the case. Information is stored in something called qubits. Now, what are these?

Artificial intelligence or A.I is vital in the 21st century global economy. The development of A.I algorithms have made automation critical in almost every field of technology. As we make technological progress, one day, we will eventually have the capacity to build a super intelligence or Artificial general intelligence commonly known as A.G.I. But before that day comes, we have to solve the A.I alignment problem. The development of autonomous weapons seems like a step backwards of that goal. Humanity has to solve the A.I control problem if we want to survive. An A.G.I might decide to exterminate us if it sees us as a threat to its existence. In this video we explain the current development of A.I systems which will lead inevitably to the rise of an artificial general intelligence
Decentralized Train Network Demo | Blockchain AI | Fetch.ai
Fetch.ai is a world-changing project, a “decentralized digital world” where autonomous software agents act on the behalf of their owners, or themselves, to get useful economic work done. We are a dynamic, fast-growing international team of experts and forward-thinking technology enthusiasts working on the convergence of blockchain, AI and multi-agent systems. We are building technology for both today and tomorrow – a collective super-intelligence on top of decentralized economic internet built with a highly scalable next-generation distributed ledger technology. Combined with machine learning, this delivers the predictions and infrastructure to power the future economy. Developing fascinating and promising new technology, we have a team of top class software engineers and researchers working across multiple fields (multi agent systems, machine learning, economics, cryptography). To further improve our solutions and deploy them in real life scenarios, we also collaborate with top academics and corporate partners across the world . We believe our technology will improve how we communicate, it will give voice and new opportunities to people, organizations and the Internet of Things, effectively democratizing the space and improving lives of citizens.
