Artificial intelligence and blockchain converge in “world’s first” AI-powered dapp

Nov 10, 2019News

The Cortex blockchain network claims to be able to do “everything that Bitcoin and Ethereum can do,” with AI and machine learning to boot.

With a growing presence in consumer products and services, artificial intelligence and blockchain have become synonyms for innovation. But the two words are rarely used together in the same sentence.

Cortex blockchain, which was launched in June this year, aims to change that discourse. The platform calls itself the first blockchain to integrate decentralized applications that use artificial intelligence.

“We can do everything that Bitcoin and Ethereum can do and, on top of that, we can also do machine learning,” Gary Lai, global operations manager at Cortex, told Decrypt.

“AI on blockchain is no longer an abstract concept,” he said. Last week, Cortex released its first decentralized app (dapp), Digital Clash, which incorporates AI in the form of a training model for game scenarios.

According to Michael Dukakis Institute for Leadership and Innovation (MDI), AI technology together with cutting edge technology such as blockchain can be a force for relieving them of resource constraints and arbitrary/inflexible rules and processes, and is potentially to solve important issues, such as SDGs.
