"Europe’s ‘slow and steady’ approach is paying off, with no major blowups as we’ve seen elsewhere, and now, it’s Europe's race to win.” - Tim Grant, CEO, Deus X Capital. At Proof of Talk 2024, an insightful panel discussion led by Tim Grant (Deus X Capital), Leon Marshall (Galaxy Europe), and Marguerite de Tavernost (Ledger x Cathay Fund), moderated by Dr. Martin Hock (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), explored Europe's growing influence on blockchain innovation. The panel highlighted Europe’s unique positioning in the blockchain space, driven by its consistent regulatory framework through initiatives like MiCA. The panelists emphasized how this regulatory clarity gives investors the confidence they need, fostering innovation without the uncertainty and risk seen in other regions. This stability is helping Europe emerge as a key player in the global blockchain ecosystem. The discussion also highlighted that Europe is well-positioned to lead in blockchain, with over 36% of the world’s developers based here and growing confidence from institutional investors.

Join me this week as I discuss the #convergence of #blockchain and #artificialIntelligence in real-world applications. At Demia, we actively innovate in this space by leveraging trusted data for trusted AI. Internally, we're focusing on real-world #AI use cases that are pragmatic, secure, and focused on delivering tangible, impactful outcomes. We're looking forward to the coming releases, when we'll be able to pull back the curtain on the Demia #DataCommons, which is enabled through our #DecentralizedOracleNetwork (The DON) and #ZeroKnowledgeFileSystem (#ZKFS) for secure and sovereign data storage and ownership. With future releases, you'll be able to see the reality where trusted data is secure, encrypted, and verifiable from the source, and AI is doing something real and impactful. We've been doing extensive research to understand what right looks like. We will release updates to enable data transformations at the edge and scale them up through #FederatedLearning to manage embedded #MachineLearning in edge devices. We've also designed the #DataCommons to ensure data stays secured and stored where it's needed most while aligning the storage location with regulatory requirements for data storage. We're also actively designing significant updates to our interface and how customers and partners will interact with data directly. Ensuring data is easily digestible and navigable through #GenerativeAI, retrieval-augmented generation (#RAG) integrations, and more. The future of AI is looking bright, with trusted data feeding trusted models and resulting in trusted insights and outcomes.

First day of BPI Blockchain, Crypto and Web3 Conference -- I had the pleasure teaming up with #web3 practice leaders from Kazakhstan, Middle East, and London on the different crypto asset regulation and (correspondingly) innovation in "the West, China & The Rest." Just like in the Artificial Intelligence #ai fields, as I commented during the panel, China's focus on "tech + industry policy + real economy applications" leads to blockchain tech startups with "Chinese characteristics" - centralized (instead of decentralized), arguably more secure (but less data privacy), and definitely more scalable ... oh, the impossible #blockchain Trilemma! Reference to my books "The Hunt for Unicorn", "The Digital War", and 2022 book “#blockchain and #web3, foreword by Anthony Scaramucci, SkyBridge Capital; Amazon book page: https://lnkd.in/gvT8Wi-y) #ai4good #aichallenges #dlt #artificialintelliegence #artificialintelligencetechnology #cloudcomputing #edgecomputing #cloudinnovation #digitalinfrastructure #dlt CFA Institute CAIA Association Big Picture Insight

With the 2024 Consensus Conference taking place at the time of writing the buzz around blockchain and Web3 is undeniable, but with so many projects and ideas swirling around, it’s easy to feel lost in the digital ether. Enter Consensus, the crypto conference that’s become a yearly pilgrimage for the international Web3 community. But what exactly is Consensus, and why is it so important? A Gathering of Minds: A Look Back at Consensus History Consensus, organized by Coindesk, first emerged in 2015, back when Bitcoin was still a toddler and the blockchain revolution was just getting started. Those early gatherings were intimate affairs, with a few hundred enthusiasts huddled together, discussing the future of this nascent technology. Fast forward to today, and Consensus has exploded into a massive event, drawing over 20,000 attendees in 2022.
