“Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain: a virtuous partnership” at TEDxTrento, 25th November 2017

(have) Faith + Act + Risk + Explore: FARE [Italian verb meaning “to do”] is the slogan for the upcoming TEDxTrento, one of the events intended to recreate the experience of attending a TED conference but on a local level.

In the spirit of “ideas which deserve to be shared”, personalities with various perceptions and skills from the world of innovation will take to the stage of the Teatro Sociale to talk about their extreme challenges, their brave leaps of faith and the visionary roads leading towards the ideas of the future.

Among the speakers is Giuseppe Bertone, head of Distributed Ledger Technology (Blockchain) at AlmavivA, who will discuss the subject of how Artificial Intelligence and the sudden decentralisation of the IT world are changing the world around us, and how knowledge is the key to not becoming overwhelmed by the current transition and instead being able to enjoy its effects.

Artificial Intelligence machines are not living or sentient beings, nor - at the present time - do they act independently or have desires, other than their programmed actions. However, cutting-edge technology such as Deep Learning is demonstrating that the astonishing efficiency of artificial technology is real and here.

Experience in emerging technologies such as Blockchain and decentralised IT can provide a suitable response to the immediate need for designing rules governing IA in terms of ethics, transparency and privacy.
