When AI meets the blockchain

SMU organised a panel discussion titled “When Blockchain & AI Come Together: Possibilities & Impacts” on 24 January 2018. The panel discussion was moderated by Professor Steven Miller, Vice Provost (Research) at SMU. The discussion was organised in conjunction with the National Research Foundation’s Global Young Scientists Summit. “In a way, blockchain is about certainty and transparency; a permanent and publicly verifiable way to record transactions,” said Prof Miller. “AI, on the other hand, involves making probabilistic statements and in that sense can be said to be about uncertainty.”
