Artificial intelligence (AI) and the blockchain are intimately related, in fact, complement each other, since while artificial intelligence provides resources to be able to value and understand any process, blockchain technology validates these processes and allows them to be executed in a decentralized manner and safe.
What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
As science and technology have advanced, the human being has had among its main objectives the development of artificial intelligence, that is to say; the creation of machines that simulate human thinking and can perform functions that were previously typical of people.
The AI is the simulation of processes and faculty of reasoning, typical of human intelligence, by machines and computer equipment. Artificial intelligence is applied when machines imitate attitudes or capabilities of the human being such as learning and solving some problems, in addition to detecting errors.
The term of AI arises in 1956 when John McCarthy defined it as:
"The science and ingenuity of making intelligent machines, especially programs to carry out activities that are proper to the human being" And since then, the term has been used frequently up to now.
What projects have emerged that use AI?
At present there are many companies working on projects that use artificial intelligence, among which are:
1- RNNLM (Recurring Neural Network Language Model)
The recurrent neural network language model, known by its acronym in English (RNNLM) is a computer system that uses artificial intelligence for translations and subtitles, however this project is in a process of improvement and expansion, since its initial creation is intended for the use of chatbots, to be used as technical support, among others.
2- Geminoid F
This project belonging to the area of robotics, uses artificial intelligence. It is one of the works of Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro, a female android that is capable of imitating human expressions. It is thought in the future to use it in hospitals as nurses or even as company ladies.
3- Siri
Without going too far, the famous Siri, developed by Apple with personal assistant functions, uses aspects of artificial intelligence thanks to its voice recognition system and natural language processing, which allows it to answer questions and make recommendations.
4- Machine Learning
Also known as automatic learning or machine learning, it is a platform in which systems can learn automatically, based on probabilistic, geometric and logical models.
It is currently used for predictions of future behavior and is used in companies to perform data classifications, not to mention that it is likely that this project will also include the blockchain system in the future, thus achieving another platform that uses IA and blockchain at the same time.
What is the blockchain?
The blockchain or chain of blocks as it is also known, is a technology that has had great boom today. It appears for the first time in 2009 in conjunction with Bitcoin.
The blockchain is a shared database that works as a kind of book in which any transaction is recorded, in a decentralized and independent way, that is to say; the system manages everything autonomously and without the possibility of modifying the registered information.
It is one of the safest methods that exist to modify, create and share information, since there are shared copies in the network, which can not be modified, once the blockchain system confirms this transaction, this works so that the information is reliable and maintain the integrity of the initial operation, since operations are not deleted.
What is the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) for blockchain?
The artificial intelligence and the blockchain are complementary, since both technologies when joining make the processes and transactions are carried out efficiently.
The AI has evolved to various areas, be it the business, educational, industrial and even economic, thus achieving, adapt to a variety of systems, protocols and platforms.
On the other hand, the blockchain is used to ensure an operation between two or more people, without the need for any type of intermediary to intervene. It is used mostly for transactions made with cryptocurrencies. In fact, the blockchain was born with the emergence of Bitcoin. However, there are currently many platforms that integrate this system, as it guarantees transparency and security at all times.
In this way, artificial intelligence combined with blockchain technology, makes the operations performed more secure and efficient, since on the one hand, artificial intelligence provides the intelligence and information required by processes, and blockchain technology provides the executable of the transaction, offering decentralization, security and support in the operation.
That is why the AI and the blockchain go hand in hand and both complement each other to achieve operations with total safety, reliability and efficiency in the processes, that's why the blockchain projects are more, which decide to integrate IA into their platforms, since it is a way to give a more complete experience to users.
