There is a link between AI and the blockchain – I think
- Friday | 15th March, 2019
Whether an AI is centralised or decentralised is tangential to whether it uses centralised or distributed data, and whether “blockchain” is used by centralised or decentralised applications is tangential to whether those applications use AI. It seems to me that one thing we might expect AIs to do better than people is to write code. Putting two and two together then, I think I can see that if there is an interesting and special connection between AI and “blockchain” then it’s not about using the blockchain as a glorified Excel spreadsheet that AIs share between themselves, it’s about writing the consensus applications for the consensus computers. There is, however, one part of the shared ledger ecosystem—of consensus applications running on consensus computers—that might benefit considerably from a shift to AI and this is the applications. Researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US foresee AI taking over code creation from humans within a generation.
