Paul Brody’s Post

Those who frequently interact with me have probably heard me say that major economic and social disruptions stem from the convergence of technologies. I often mention the Internet, which became truly impactful only when smartphones, social networks, and 'big data' were integrated into the mix. I admit I've been a bit repetitive about this. Therefore, I consider it a privilege to have contributed to this report recently published by INATBA. I have much more to discuss on the topic and enjoy sharing insights on the potential of this convergence for governments. I will have this opportunity at Blockchain.rio, an event that will once again host BlockchainGov, organized for the fourth time by BNDES. In future posts, I will provide more information about the event. For now, I share the report, thanking Mariana de la Roche Wills, Tomaz Sedej, Barbora G., and all the participants involved. Also thanks to our team at BNDES (bosses included): João Lopes, Milber Bourguignon, Sérgio Marques de Viveiros, Luciana Giuliani Reis, Fernando P. e Helena Tenorio Veiga de Almeida. #AI #blokchain #INATBA

Join us today for a deep dive into the convergence of #Blockchain and #AI! 📆 14 Feb, 6pm CET 👉 Reserve your spot and #sign #up here: https://lnkd.in/dGSqz5S2

⭐ #Blockchain and #AI are currently two of the most discussed new technolgies. But, are we witnessing the coming together of two technologies that naturally belong together? Or are there more challenges than opportunities deriving from the intersection of AI and Blockchain? 📆 Join us on Feb 14, at 18:00 CET for a deep dive into this trending subject and assess with us hopes and fears sparked by the tech duo in our #webinar "Convergence of Blockchain and AI". 💬 We are looking forward to discuss strategic insights and actionable recommendations regarding integration, security, and ethical deployment of these technologies with top experts Mariana de la Roche Wills, who is co-leading the Task Force on Blockchain and AI at INATBA - International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications and EBA Head of Policy Erwin Voloder, MES introduced by a welcome address by EBA Chairman Dr. Michael Gebert. 🤝 Thank you Οικονομικά του Blockchain: Εισαγωγή στα Κρυπτονομίσματα - Elearning Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο / Department of Economics in Blockchain of the Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens for the initiative! 👉 The webinar is #free of cost. Please #sign #up here: https://lnkd.in/dGSqz5S2

The relationship between #blockchain and #AI has been receiving increased attention due to the myriad benefits these two technologies could bring to the other. Everything from #AI driven #trading strategies, business case applications, to #zkML and the extension of neural networks to zk-proofs. However there are also centralization risks, #privacy issues and #interoperability, #data and governance challenges to address. As part of ongoing efforts, Mariana de la Roche Wills and I have been hard at work drafting a report on the convergence of #blockchain and AI as a joint effort between the European Blockchain Association e.V. And INATBA - International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications for the inaugural INATBA task force on blockchain and artificial intelligence. We’re excited to present some preliminary findings from our joint research initiatives on February 14th during a webinar organized by Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences. Registration link here 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/e5YGbuee Looking forward to a lively discussion on a very fast moving and relevant topic!

Great paper on a use case of #dlt in healthcare by Horst Treiblmaier and his colleagues: The paper discusses the complexities of managing healthcare data, highlighting the need to address various stakeholders' requirements. It presents insights from a panel discussion with healthcare professionals regarding the current state of healthcare data management and the potential role of blockchain technology in improving it. The paper proposes a comprehensive framework for healthcare data management, emphasizing the significance of patient data and addressing key areas such as trust, privacy, integrity, security, sharing, transfer, and interoperability. It also suggests several research questions to guide future blockchain-driven innovation in healthcare data management. #web3 #digitalassets

#ScientificPaper #Publication #journal 🎉New scientific paper in the frame of the FAIRCHAIN project! 📰Experiences Using Ethereum and Quorum Blockchain Smart Contracts in Dairy Production 👥 Authors: Melissari, Filisia, Andreas Papadakis, Dimitris Chatzitheodorou, Duc Tran, Joachim Schouteten, Georgia Athanasiou, and Theodore Zahariadis. Read it here: 👉https://lnkd.in/eEJ8W_jm 🧀Summary: Given the context of the dairy section in Greece, this study aims to examine: - whether it is possible to model the end-to-end process of PDO feta cheese considering production rules to develop a trustworthy blockchain-based traceability system - how to associate the (‘easy-to-retrieve’, operational) traceability data with the (difficult-to-assess) product characteristics meaningful to the consumer, - how to design a technical solution ensuring that information is accessible by the stakeholders and the consumer, while minimising blockchain-related delay, and - how to design a graphical user interface and offer tools to consumers so that traceability information is communicated effectively and they can verify it through access to the blockchain. #FAIRCHAIN #BlockchainTechnology #DairyIndustry #TraceabilitySystem #FoodTech #DairyProduction #PDOFetaCheese #ConsumerTrust #SupplyChainTransparency #AgriTech INRAE Synelixis Solutions SA STYMFALIA S.A.

How can #blockchain transform healthcare data management? Abderahman Rejeb, Mike G., Anjum Khurshid, Alex Norta, Jim Poteet, Suresh Sivagnanam and I believe that the changes will be #disruptive and profound. In our newest publication in Blockchain in Healthcare Today - DMV Chapter, we identify important areas related to current #challenges, #stakeholders, #legal environment, #trust and #privacy, #benefits, #data #integrity, data #security, data #interoperability, data #sharing and #transfer as well as numerous #future #developments. This paper should not only help #researchers to identify interesting areas but is also relevant for #practitioners to better understand the potentials of blockchain for the #healthcare #industry. The open access paper can be found here: https://lnkd.in/dBrgqJ7r This paper is based on a #panel #discussion that can be watched here: https://lnkd.in/dQamzKNp We hope that we can raise awareness and contribute to a more efficient #healthcaresystem that will benefit #patients and the #industry. Many thanks to John Russo and Tory Cenaj for their ongoing support.
