Cryptocurrencies, Smart Contracts, and Artificial Intelligence | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
We started the ACM SIGAI Bay Area Chapter in Silicon Valley in April, 2014 because AI and its applications are progressing rapidly. Our goal is to create a community in which members can share insights, inspirations, and educational resources. We are especially interested in helping participants use AI technologies in new and innovative ways. The recent development of “cryptocurrencies” and “smart contracts” creates an opportunity for many new applications of AI techniques. These economic technologies would benefit from greater world knowledge and reasoning capabilities as they become integrated into human commerce. In the other direction, cryptocurrencies and smart contracts may provide an infrastructure to ensure that AI systems follow precise legal and safety rules as they interact with the world.
