This is my presentation from Microsoft Future Summit in Cape Town, South Africa. It is mainly a Blockchain presentation with AI flavor and a final implementation focus on Azure Blockchain Workbench.

Distributed Intelligence Perfect Storm Alternative Posibilities • AI and encryption work very well together • Blockchain can help us track, understand and explain decisions made by AI • AI can manage blockchains more efficiently than humans Sources: Forbes , Francesco Corea • Having a clear audit trail for AI: improve the trustworthiness of the data as well as of the models • Increase AI effectiveness: Secure data sharing means more training data), and then better models • Increase artificial trust: Bots to trust each other and increase machine-to-machine interaction • Scalability: AI can introduce new decentralized learning systems such as federated learning • Security: AI can bring security to blockchain via incredible progress made by machine learning • Reduce Network Latency: Better efficiency and a lower energy consumption
B (i.e. digital currentcy, a digital asset, a certificate, etc.). 3 Company A transaction is stored in the ledger as a block with other transaction. The block has an unique ID, the transition time and the ID of the previous block in the chain. 2 Company A uses a digital app to transfer the value to Company B. The app stamps the transaction with Company A digital signature, and now needs to be verified by blockchain. 4 The block containing Company A transaction is then broadcast to the entire network to be verified in each node. 5 After the verification process, Company B receives the value, and all the transaction history remains permanent and transparent available for all the blockchain participants.

data or events based on time or market conditions. Calling code or data outside of a Smart Contract or blockchain breaks the general trust barrier and authenticity of transactions. Cryptlets will allow the blockchain to access external data securely, while maintaining the integrity of the blockchain. Blockchain 2.0 – Introducing Smart Contracts

can determine if blockchain is appropriate Does the process involve low-value, manual verification steps? Are there any intermediaries that control the single source of the truth? Do multiple parties manipulate the same data? Is this a business process that crosses trust boundaries?
