GANACOIN: CANNABIS + AI + BIG DATA + MOBILE
Artificial intelligence is a tool which is taken and accepted by this present generation because it has helped and assisted man in various activities and spheres of life. Not to mention its advantages to human. While some people might be totally against such because of the fear of man in extinction from carrying out certain activities and other reasons, others are totally in support of it. Ai is not different from human since its still controlled by them, it’s the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, working and reacting like humans. Nevertheless, the determination of AI should be meticulously verified for transparency and this can be achieved through a block chain technology. Block chain technology with the advantage of decentralized; develop the integrity, reliability, security, transparency and analysis must be based on objective data: moreover, the ethical consciousness of the developers must also be managed. Also the development team must fulfill its social responsibilities as an AI operating agency by giving the best effort. Thus is to achieve high quality bug data for accurate recommendations and anonymity shall be the proper management methods to maintain and retain the good intensions of AI.
PROBLEMS OF AI
- ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITIES: As AI technology evolves, a constant debate prevails on its ethical responsibilities with decision-making. Fields such as the medical industry undertake a thorough management of such AI’s. Cannabis is also considered as part of the medical industry nowadays, and thus recommendations and optimized solutions
- INDUSTRIAL DATA COLLECTION: The cannabis industry requires rigorous procedures and records that are generally made by handwriting or spreadsheets. Fields such as distribution, cultivation and sales still necessitate the application of IT technology to enhance efficiency and achieve data collection channels. This leads to a loss of data and lack of reliability.
- PERSONALIZING DATA COLLECTION: The emergence of AI took the consumer-oriented industries one big step further. Accordingly many AI developing agencies focus on a consumer-oriented PA and collect personal data by mobile applications. The data demanded in order to provide a customized solution to the user is generally the user activity pattern related data. This is the reason why companies that offer services related to the daily lives of the users such as the SNS can develop AI faster than any other industry. The cannabis industry however, is deficient in a representative service as PA and there is scarcity of data collection channel for developing algorithms to better understand the user needs, advancements and utilization.
SOLUTION
The possible solution is GANA because with the problems listed above, it is meant to solve and bring out possible outcomes. High expectations exist on the development of AI for bringing better efficiencies to our lives. However, the concerns arising from ethical responsibilities of operating agencies have remained as an unsolved task. The negative perception as it was recognized as a drug and is consumed by smoking led the team to recognize the sensitiveness of users when it comes to recommendations through AI.
GANA technologies will exhaustively analyze individuals through its mobile application and will collect reliable data through the ecosystem to gain confidence with users. Moreover, the recommendation, research and learning results will be managed by the block chain technology in order to maintain trust with users by transparently disclosing all the procedures related to developments.
• The most important feature is the ethical awareness of all researchers, developers and data providers involved in GANA AI development. Thus, the project team has established the principle of development ethics in order to manage the overall direct/indirect changes through the block chain technology. This would prevent accidents caused by intentional or unintentional mistakes and a fully monitor able environment would be secured for developing a sensitive AI that integrates with both the GANA ecosystem and the cannabis industry.
• The GANA ecosystem is a big data solution that serves as a learning pool for GANA AI that consists of retailers, research institutes and online communities. GANA technologies exposes brilliant data collected from users that are expected to lead to a revolutionary development in the cannabis industry. it is mandatory to manage the big data in such a way that it prevents the AI from suggesting results based on discriminatory data. It will also provide an ecosystem that acts as data collection and sharing system for the channels shown below using the benefits given by the block chain technology.
a. Research Institutes: Recently, studies related to cannabis have been actively carried out in various fields as its medicinal value has been recognized in the medical field. However, the industry still lacks high quality and personal data for better understanding of the effects for privacy reasons; this is caused by the fact that it has long been classified as a drug. Through the ecosystem, GANA Technologies will provide the researchers with insights deduced from the industry big data and GANA AI. On the other hand, we will collect data from those researchers’ data for algorithms improvements and performance enhancement for the GANA AI.
b. Online Community User analysis requires a large amount of qualitative and quantitative personalization data. Thus, GANA Technologies will lead the participation of communities to the ecosystem that ’such data generated during communication can be studied. Each community can share expertise and anonymous user activity information and by doing so will be rewarded GANA (the primary means of exchange for the GANA ecosystem). Users will be able to communicate with various experts from different communities by using the GANA mobile application. GANA will be rewarded based on an evaluation rule for the user’s activity performance.
c. Dispensary: One of the most essential data in the industry issuers product consumption pattern data. However, investigated result indicate that cannabis sales are generally made by cash that causes more delay and owners cannot collect data competently. In addition, there are numerous limitations with online sales and delivery, this makes data collection not highly effective. GANA Technologies will improve its sales process by providing IT solutions such as membership management systems, Preorder to Pickup. This will also enable us to collect consumption data. Furthermore, we plan to develop the GANA Payment System based on the crypto currency that integrates with an automated consumption data collection channel that collects/generates highly reliable data. Entire personal information that is requisite to identify the user will be encrypted and managed through the block chain. This would enable the transparent display of purchase/sales data for various usages. The Dispensary participating in the GANA ecosystem is able to solve these curtly problem questioned by several retailers; it is caused by large amount of cash reserves and will be able to collect their own customer data.
d. Extensibility to related fields: The ecosystem will supply an open platform for various fields including distribution, cultivation, public institutions, etc. GANA Technologies provides a solution to improve the underdeveloped data recording method of the cannabis industry and enables the participants to manage cost and products more efficiently.
• Solution for personalized data collection limitation: The GANA mobile application recommends random contents based on the popularity of the contents at the early stages of meeting the user. GANA AI analyzes users based on three features: adoption, rejection, and retention that are selected by the user himself. GANA AI optimizes the user data based on the following three categories and are classified based on these three features stated above. User data optimization based on three categories.
a. Lifestyle: Those who consume cannabis as a sort of therapy and like to spend time alone This type is mainly aimed at recommending and consuming contents. GANA AI will focus on analyzing the user’s psychology and biorhythm to improve and stabilize the quality of life by being their PA (Personal Assistant). The users will be studied collecting and analyzing qualitative data generated based on the communication of GANA AI with the user.
b. Socializing: Those who consume cannabis for socializing and information sharing purposes. Users who are studied and appear to be highly related to socializing will be provided with active contents such as new articles on cannabis, questions to be solved, meetings and community information. The socializing type generates personalized data related to distribution and online communities; its main goal is to collect a large amount of quantitative data or quantification of unstructured data. GANA AI analyzes the acquired data to identify users and communities key concerns and will be shared through the GANA ecosystem based on the needs of the participants.
c. Medical: Those who consume cannabis for daily health-care due to illness. GANA AI is able to recommend better products to medicinal users based on a continuous learning research institute's expertise, lifestyle and socializing user data. Various physical information such as gender, constitution, ethnicity, psychological influences, changes in biorhythm will be learned along with expert knowledge of research institutes, and recommendations will be provided or relieving symptoms caused by a particular illness. This is similar to the behavior of a particular patient visiting a doctor and consulting a doctor. In other words, GANA AI will be able to act as a personal doctor for those users. In particular, patients suffering from serious illnesses will also be able to get recommendations for better products and receive a variety of information about users with similar experiences. In other words, GANA AI will provide the optimal solution through an intensive learning process based on the GANA ecosystem and mobile application. The collected information and insights deduced by GANA AI can be shared with research institutes and clinics, and it will be managed through the block chain technology. Moreover, additional features such as wearable devices will be developed so that user body information and health data can be collected in real time without the need to request users to directly submit the information.
