Commercial uses of Blockchain & AI workshop on May 7th
When: Tuesday May 7th 2019 from 5:30pm to 8:00pm
Where: David Braley Health Sciences Centre, McMaster University, 100 Main street West, Hamilton, Ontario
Organizer: Hamilton Blockchain and AI Advisory Group
Details:
The Hamilton Blockchain and AI advisory Group recognizes the future of Blockchain and AI as one of the components of “THIS AMBITIOUS CITY” we call Hamilton, and the focus on the fact that “TECH LIVES HERE!”
The transition from centralize platforms to decentralize ecosystems is happening in our every day lives and we hardly even notice.
Coupled with AI enabling technologies all side are benefiting from the sheer amount of data being collected, processed, analyzed, and ultimately put to use.
We are on the cusp of a New Economy and one that will see privacy by design, open and transparent ecosystems, and new ways of peer-to-peer interaction in almost every aspects of our lives.
Think of the next level Uber but without Uber. Or AirBnB, but without the AirBnB. Millions or billions of data points representing direct one-to-one interaction without intermediaries.
We have arranged a 3 part workshop to foster and promote this new economy thinking into action.
In the first workshop we will explore real life examples of how the new economy is being impacted by decentralization and AI and have a lively debate on its uses locally.
In the second workshop we will be learning about the methods and tools to further refine these uses to allow for participation in the new economy.
And the last workshop takes these uses and further refines them into potential prototypes that showcase the new economy in and around Hamilton.
These workshops are free and geared for and open to the public for maximum benefit to all participants.
Limit seating is available so reserve your spot early!!!!
It is anticipated that participants will include entrepreneurs, innovators, private and public sectors legal, business & technical professions, and interested students.
