In short bonus episode, Jerry Cuomo discusses the relationship between AI and blockchain, debunking the notion that the combination is hyped and stating that they both enforce each other.

Cuomo highlights how blockchain provides authentic data, bringing trust to AI and augmenting decision making, while AI brings intelligence to data. Cuomo also mentions how the combination of AI and blockchain could benefit industries such as healthcare and finance by providing better data and identity protection. Cuomo suggests starting with incremental steps and dreaming big to improve everyday life. Ultimately, the combination of AI and blockchain can lead to authenticity, augmentation, and automation.

In this quick bonus episode, DJ and Jerry discuss quantum computers and their potential impact on blockchain technology. Quantum Computers are real and continue to become more powerful and can soon be practically used by businesses to solve problems yet to be solved by classic computers. While quantum has a wondrous upside, this power can be used for malicious use, including tampering with modern encrypted data. So, it’s time to understand quantum enough to both be safe, while also learning how to harness its power.
Jerry was challenged to keep this episode at or around 5 mins, just to touch on a quick definition of quantum computers as well as provide the “two sides of the coin” of what they can do. The short answer is, we are safe for now. But it’s time to establish your quantum offense and defense.
As mentioned in this episode, here is a good YouTube video explaining quantum:
