Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): AGI, sometimes referred

to as "Strong AI," is the kind of artificial intelligence we see in
the movies, like the robots from Westworld or Data from Star
Trek: The Next Generation. AGI is a machine with general
intelligence and, much like a human being, it can apply that
intelligence to solve any problem.

Intelligence
"Artificial intelligence is a set
of algorithms and
intelligence to try to mimic
human intelligence. Machine
learning is one of them, and
deep learning is one of those
machine learning
techniques."
Simply put, machine learning feeds a computer data and
uses statistical techniques to help it "learn" how to get
progressively better at a task, without having been
specifically programmed for that task, eliminating the need
for millions of lines of written code. Machine learning
consists of both supervised learning (using labeled data
sets) and unsupervised learning (using unlabeled data sets).
Deep learning is a type of machine learning that runs inputs
through a biologically-inspired neural network architecture.
The neural networks contain a number of hidden layers
through which the data is processed, allowing the machine
to go "deep" in its learning, making connections and
weighting input for the best results.

responsive, merging the digital and physical universes.

Blockchain
Blockchain technology
improves transparency in
data analysis. Unlike
previous algorithms, the
blockchain rejects any input
that cannot be verified and is
considered suspicious.
A blockchain is, in the simplest of terms, a time-
stamped series of immutable records of data that
is managed by a cluster of computers not owned
by any single entity. Each of these blocks of data
(i.e. block) is secured and bound to each other
using cryptographic principles (i.e. chain).
So, what is so special about it and why are we
saying that it has industry-disrupting capabilities?
The blockchain network has no central authority —
it is the very definition of a democratized system.
Since it is a shared and immutable ledger, the
information in it is open for anyone and everyone to
see. Hence, anything that is built on the blockchain
is by its very nature transparent and everyone
involved is accountable for their actions.
 Big Data Analytics
Driven by specialized analytics systems and software, as well as high-powered
computing systems, big data analytics offers various business benefits, including:

● New revenue opportunities

● More effective marketing

● Better customer service

● Improved operational efficiency

● Competitive advantages over rivals

Analytics
The convergence of blockchain, AI, and big data analytics are opening doors to
more powerful and innovative solutions that manage compliance costs and
reduce operational risks
Why now?

Because consumers are demanding more transparency,

and businesses don’t want to spend time and money
complying with regulations in a haphazard manner when
there’s a better, faster solution available.

Food and Beverage
A major concern in the food
and beverage industry is
being able to track where
food came from.
When a listeria or E. coli outbreak happens, there’s a rush to track the
bacteria back to its source to prevent more people from ingesting
tainted food.
Blockchain and IoT devices can give large companies a unique way to
track produce, from the field to the grocery store. A head of lettuce
that’s harvested and placed in a bin can be tracked if the bin uses an
IoT device to register it on the blockchain. From there, the produce
moves to a facility where it’s processed and packaged — events that can
also be registered and tracked.
Once it’s made its way to the consumer, there’s a verifiable chain of
custody that goes all the way back to its roots.
