Dear @ crypto.piotr First I would like to thank you for reading my posts and leaving those wonderful words of encouragement. This topic of yours invokes a lot of thoughts in my mind and my heart and there are 3 different streams of thought that it stimulates one is that of what and how we perceive AI due to the exposure we get in the media, news and films. Second stream is that of a content developer and what I come across due to the reading and researching about technology. The thrid stream of thought has more to do with my role as a consultant,developer and tech guy. So without much moderation I would rather thing aloud and share my thought here we go...
How AI supported by growing blockchain technology can change the world?
Before we talk of AI or artificial Intelligence
I would like to start my contribution to this discussion by mentioning that our species Homo Sapiens happens to be sitting on top of the pyramid by virtue of being intelligent beings (I know there are plenty of contexts where this statement is debatable but we won't discuss them here)
So when AI or tries to find its place an underlying fear of AI going rogue and turn against the human species surfaces. Remember the movie I-Robot where the story gravitates around a robot going rogue? Or Johny 5 from Short Circuit(1986) where a robot develops emotions where it is not supposed to be having any. I know these are far fetched things still this thought has played on our mind as a species and used successfully as a plot by numerous film makers. However it does underline the fear of our species that computers could become more intelligent then us the creators and turn against us.
However Sophia the AI robot is still far away from that.
Enter Blockchain a ledger that logs every activity so AI related activities are logged so their is good opportunity that AI would not grow rogue. It would also create a transparent and easy to access and validate log and this would open up endless possibilities of growth, research and innovation.
Secondly I feel that Weather forecasting (the Met department) would be one of the first to use. As a lot of super computing is required in that field.
Another field would be medical research and our race against time to find new treatments and better diagnostics can be seen as the fields where AI can be adopted and made use of.
I feel AI is more like a magic clay that can be molded to suit almost every industry where labor intensive repetitive tasks are required to be performed and you need to draw results from a large amount of data.So I feel blockchains, Big Data,IOT and AI would go hand in hand.
It is only that the approach to programming is changing.
All these are technical fields with a high entry barrier however due to the serious shortage of talent
the pyramid structure would need more drag and drop programing interfaces to pop up so less technical people can program apps and more technical people can over see the creation of more complex codes.
It is also a perception as to how we perceive AI
Siri and its other brethren are already in our phones and part of our lives and we hardly realize that we are using AI in our own lives . Chatbots are common and are very friendly and can help users and take the burden away from the shoulders of human customer care executives.
There are API's available to use some of these assets and create new programs in the field of IOT and create home automation solutions or interact with other devices. I mention this because I see these new synergies being forged and convergence of technologies happening all the time.
Hi, Im sorry for such a late reply. My weekend has been quite messy and I didnt have enough time to reply to all comments.
I love your long and rich reply. Amazing read. I will definetly have to re-read it again.
