Blockchain and AI – Convergence Foundational Technologies
Dinis Guarda
July 23, 2020
“The pace of progress in artificial intelligence (I’m not referring to narrow AI) is incredibly fast. Unless you have direct exposure to groups like Deepmind, you have no idea how fast—it is growing at a pace close to exponential. The risk of something seriously dangerous happening is in the five-year time frame. 10 years at most.”
—Elon Musk wrote in a comment on Edge.org
“We must address, individually and collectively, moral and ethical issues raised by cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, which will enable significant life extension, designer babies, and memory extraction.”
—Klaus Schwab
I call the blockchain ‘the Internet of value’ and ‘the Internet of trust.’ Because everything becomes trustless. It’s a big distributed ledger. Think of it like an Excel file that’s being maintained and updated and managed by millions of computers around the world.

The Blockchain Tech Ecosystem and Features
Dinis Guarda
July 03, 2020
What makes Blockchain Technology so special
Blockchain also known as a new leayer of Internet of trust is a foundational P2P technology that coming out of encryption was developed in a way that increases transparency of digital transactions, as everybody on the network has a copy of it in the registering ledger. Being more than a technology Blockchain is also an ideology the aims to decentralise systems and society. This tech oofers solutions that once a transaction is registered, it can order anything from any part of the world register or payment on the blockchain distributed ledger. Privacy, based on encryptions and additional smart contract technology related, on blockchain is another major feature that makes blockchain, also known as distributed ledger technology that makes it so special.

Smart Cities, 4IR, AI, Blockchain, IoT the Heartbeat of the XXI Century

Smart Cities, 4IR, AI, Blockchain, IoT the Heartbeat of the XXI Century
Cities are all about people’s lives. Big social groups of people living and collaborating together. Whether you are in London, New York, Singapore, Tokyo or Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Barcelona these cities offer the best in the world and are able to serve so many millions of people together because of their adoption of smart technologies which makes them leading smart cities.
Smart Cities are the heart of the beating of the best in the world and in the interstice of all challenges, innovation and concerns. Particularly when it comes to organisation of society, citizens, innovation, technology and data, smart cities are the center of all operations and challenges and opportunities.
Smart cities, like the city states in the past embed the highest hopes of humany through the promise of harnessing the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) innovative technologies to improve lives and bring social harmony. However, smart cities represent also and could incarnate the challenges, fears of a dystopian ecosystem of over ‘controlled lives’, making society unfold in some kind of panopticon system, governed by the emergence and disruption coming out of artificial intelligence, IoT, Blockchain and automated devices coming from the augmented tools and software inherent to digital transformation systems.

The Smart City Revolution In The Era Of AI, Blockchain And Big Data
Mar 25, 2020
“A smart city is an intelligent town that provides enormous possibilities for human growth through art, culture, social, architectural, economic, political, environmental, and scientific flowering with the optimal mix of nature, technology, humanity, and arts.” ― Amit Ray, Peace Bliss Beauty and Truth: Living with Positivity
More than half of the world population live in cities, and a total of 6 billion people is expected to do that by 2045. Cities in both developed and developing countries face a common challenge: how to use digital technologies to respond to citizens’ demands for better quality living environments in a more efficient and dynamic manner, and create more efficient commercial environments.
Government bodies face the urgency to adapt all new 4IR technologies at the service of their cities. And that is a massive task given the complexity of the current digital world. All these technologies have to work together to maximize the impact as well as position the cities at the forefront of the technology race.
But building a smart city of the future requires a joint effort across multiple entities and work towards the same objective. Cities aren’t perennial objects but a rather organic entity: they breath and evolve over time. The “smart” part of a city would mean to build a “nervous system” based on Big Data, AI, IoT, Cloud computing, 5G and all the other 4IR tech to make those cities to perceive, think, self-learn and grow.

Getting Ready For The Tsunami: AI Evolution, Blockchain and Technological Singularity
The ones old enough to remember, might recall the times when image communication seemed a far distant impossible reality… a futuristic dream that would never be achieved! Now, we can have a voice call with someone who is climbing the Himalayas, while sitting in the comfort of our home, through Skype, Whattsapp, Zoom, Signal etc etc etc…
In the last few decades, we have seen what seems like reality surpassing imagination. Incredible technological advancements are happening at such quick pace that one is almost incapable to keep up with all the innovations. And one of the most radical inventions that is promising a tsunami in our lives is AI.
The tsunami AI, has been out there actually for a long time. It has been discreetly operating and being developed in research and development labs located in Universities and Tech Corporations, scattered in the world. Over the past decade it has gained momentum, and is now applied across disparate industries ranging from healthcare to manufacturing to retail and beyond.
AI raises hopes yes, but also fears. If it can help immensely the world it can also bring us to the edge of catastrophe, if one considers that AI can eventually surpass humans in terms of intelligent cognition. Will the scenario of machines overturning humans become a reality ?

If it can help immensely the world it can also bring us to the edge of catastrophe, if one considers that AI can eventually surpass humans in terms of intelligent cognition. Will the scenario of machines overturning humans become a reality ? Or will we have what some call a “friendly AI?” What explains this intense period of development of AI over the past decade, is the exponential growth of Big Data! With such extreme quantities of data being produced all the time, we urgently need a system to organize it and secure it, in a way that some of the threats inherent to AI can be prevented. Possibly blockchain can be the underlying architecture, sustaining it and securing AI. These are some of the challenges that will be talked about in this article.

The Future of Finance
Financial institutions are becoming driven by data and tech
New technologies are and will rapidly reshape the entire financial services spectre.
Fintech that’s no longer the headline, it’s now the industry reality together with new digitalisation of money, crypto and regulatory frameworks.
Banks, insurers and asset managers are knee-deep in the potential of such technologies known as Fintech, data, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain.
These technologies are the main drivers helping transform the finance businesses and stay on top of ever-changing consumer expectations.
For instance, the financial services seen as a digital transformation infrastructure is now a fact.
Big Data, AI, blockchain automation, cloud computing, IoT and augmented reality are reshaping the present near future of financial services companies, the products they offer and the way they engage their customers.
Leaders of financial institutions must be the catalyst for change. All organisations need to have a clear fintech strategy that aligns with business model goals.
Those who are ready to manage innovation as an ongoing process, will be positioned to not just survive disruption—they will thrive. But we are humans and we need to have wisdom and joint efforts. Tech won’t save us if we don’t cooperate correctly.
