Blockchain

  • History

    • Blockchain has a history spanning decades, beginning in the 1980s with the emergence of cryptography.
    • Cryptographer David Chaum introduced blind signatures, a method for digital currency and privacy.
    • In 1991, researchers Haber and Stornetta proposed timestamping digital documents for security.
    • In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin blockchain marked a disruptive innovation with the "genesis block". This introduced decentralized digital currency enabled peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries.
  • Blockchain Explained

    • A distributed database that stores records in blocks linked together.
    • Data is recorded in a public ledger, making it transparent.
    • Each block contains data from multiple transactions that are confirmed.
    • Blockchains are decentralized, meaning no single entity controls the system; every participant has a copy.
    • Data is immutable, making it secure and resistant to modifications or alterations.
  • How Blockchain Works

    • Transactions are grouped into blocks.
    • Blocks are linked together via cryptographic hashing.
    • Blocks are validated and added to the chain.
    • Cryptographic hashing ensures data integrity and immutability.
  • Peer-to-peer Network

    • A network architecture where each device (peer) can communicate and share resources with other peers.
    • No single server controls the network; it is decentralized and distributed among participants.
    • This approach is cost-effective because it eliminates the need for a central server, plus it promotes flexibility and adaptability by allowing easy expansion and adding new clients.
  • Three Main Pillars

    • Decentralization: No single entity owns or controls the data; it's distributed among numerous nodes.
    • Transparency: All transactions are recorded publicly on a shared ledger, promoting accountability.
    • Immutability: Once data is recorded in a block, it cannot be altered or erased and permanently secured.

Artificial Intelligence

  • What is AI?

    • AI's ability, displayed by computers and robots to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence like reasoning, learning, problem-solving, and understanding language. AI can mimic or even surpass human capabilities.
  • Need for AI

    • AI facilitates human efficiency in diverse areas.
    • It enhances industrial productivity and reduces errors.
    • It expands the capacity for performing complex and tedious tasks.
    • It fosters innovations across different sectors.
  • Major Goals for AI

    • Problems Solving and Decision Making
      • Analyzing large datasets and identifying patterns.
      • Data-driven decisions for superior efficiency in various applications, from healthcare to finance and beyond.
    • Natural Language Processing (NLP) -AI-powered comprehension and response mechanisms, mirroring human language.
    • Machine Learning and Deep Learning
      • Machines learning from data, making sophisticated predictions possible.
    • Robotics and Automation
      • Enhanced and accurate physical tasks through AI integration.
    • Enhancing Healthcare and Medicine
      • Improving diagnostics and treatments through AI algorithms.
  • Advantages

    • Reduction in human error
    • Precise and accurate decision-making
    • Increased efficiency through automation
    • Availability and accessibility in diverse environments
      • Enhanced health outcomes
      • Enhanced safety in hazardous environments
  • Disadvantages

    • Creativity limitations: The capacity for true originality and imagination may be absent
    • Emotional intelligence limitations: The ability to comprehend and respond to human emotions may be missing
    • Encouraging laziness: Excessive reliance on AI and reduced active engagement.
    • Privacy concerns: Risk in data breaches, corporate misuses or unlawful manipulation.
    • Job displacement: Potential negative impacts on jobs, especially in routine tasks.
  • History of AI

    • Key developments in the field of AI over time, from early concepts to advances made in the current era.
  • Levels of AI

    • Different stages of AI development and their defining characteristics, from simple logic to more sophisticated machine learning models.
  • Types of AI

    • Categories to differentiate and classify AI systems based on their capabilities and functions, such as reactive, limited memory, and theory of mind.
