The IEEE COINS Conference in Berlin brought together experts in artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), IPv6, big data, and other emerging technologies. nChain Chief Science Officer – Licensing Dr. Owen Vaughan discussed the event and how all these diverse technologies complement each other. The debate at the event centered around just how good AI can get, and whether AI can replace human consciousness. While blockchain once had all the hype, AI has taken the spotlight. nChain is looking into AI, but its focus remains on blockchain technology, and its research in AI will be limited to its intersection with blockchain.
