The relationship between AI, blockchain tech and democratizing data, with Tent McConaghy

 As a long-term AI and blockchain researcher and entrepreneur, Trent McConaghyis on a mission to democratize data and help ensure that humanity has a role in an increasingly autonomous world. He does so through his current projects BigChainDB and Ocean Protocol. BigChainDB is a big data distributed database with blockchain features, that has applications in intellectual property, identity management, supply chains, government and many different industries.Ocean Protocol is a decentralized protocol and a network of AI services, on which data marketplaces and exchanges can be built to maximize the supply of available data and services.In this interview we talk about intersections of artificial intelligence which thrives on data and blockchain technology which is a powerful vehicle for democratizing data.   

What we cover in this episode:

• How can artificial intelligence help blockchain and vice versa?
• What are AI DAOs how can they help reduce the centralization in AI?
• How do incentive structures work with autonomous AI?  
• What are the dangers of putting AI incentives on blockchain?
• Possible alternatives to the proof of work and solutions to save energy on the planet
• What can we expect in the AI and blockchain space in the next 5 years?
• Development of swarm intelligence and incentives to have control over our systems
• Self-owned AIs in transportation and energy and how Nature 2.0 will look like
