AI or Artificial intelligence and Blockchain Well AI is something which we all know. The machines are programmed to perform by understanding the data they have and take necessary actions. It is true that AI has massively disturbed the current business operations, what if this technology gets blended with AI or Artificial Intelligence. For a machine to perform even more effectively, it is crucial that it must have access to big data without worrying about data being lost or hacked. Blockchain can play a significant role in becoming a hassle-free platform for the exchange of data.

Blockchain's robust security ensures that the data providers don’t have to worry about the hassle-free exchange of data.

Asset Tracking ToolOne of the key features of Blockchain is the tracking of data. The information present in the distributed ledger is time-stamped. It means that every information on the ledger is present in chronological order thus making tracking of data or information easy. In the upcoming time, the tokenisation process in Blockchain is going to gain popularity.

The token can be used to track the asset when it comes out from the supply chain.

Thus it becomes easy for anyone to track the information.

Smart ContractThis is the next big thing we must be looking at when we are talking about applications of Blockchain in 2018. It is intimately connected with Bitcoin and Blockchain. It is a digital contract which is defined by certain pre-defined contracts.

Once these conditions are met, the contract is executed. It can be used in various field like trading, transactions, real estate, etc. Since everything is automated and stored in the ledger, you can be assured that everything is fair.
