The benefits of AI can not be contested, but today’s AI solutions are based on the need of transporting the problem data to a centralized crunch facility on the internet, a so called cloud computing facility. As of consequence, risks when it comes to ensuring solid data management streams are introduced. This session will discuss how edge cloud with decentralized AI capabilities can facilitate the AI crunching stage close to where the data is generated and where it will be used.

Thus far, NFT has been largely about the arts and art forms. But, just the initial initial days of Bitcoin, we are not yet unleashing the real potential of the underlined technology. This session will discuss Non-fungible tokens and DLT beyond the art and look at new potential for NFTs.

In today’s digital world, privacy is more critical than ever. Yet, we know it’s not always guaranteed, even though businesses capture and store countless data pieces about their visitors and customers.

Money is changing. The growth of the crypto world is introducing more and more people to digital currencies and their benefits. It’s also taking hold at a national level with many countries looking at formally adopting digital currencies. But, to make cryptocurrency universally accessible and usable, interoperability must exist between traditional currencies and crypto. This session will discuss why that interoperability is necessary, what it means for local markets and users, and how interoperability is being enabled. The session will include current use cases showcasing crypto and local currency interoperability and the impact it has on those local markets.

One of the biggest challenges facing the telecom space is eliminating fraud and security concerns. Blockchain technology is being applied in many other industries to solve these same problems. This session will discuss how blockchain can be applied to increase privacy, security, an trust, and resolve many operational challenges around identity management and chain of custody.

This session will offer a real-world case study on how R3 Blockchain was used to build TruckPass, a solution to enable frictionless, digital borders to create simpler, more efficient, and more secure border transit for the haulage industry. TruckPass uses blockchain technology to electronically seal a pallet of goods, removing the need for an entire container or vehicle to be sealed. Once that seal is in place, it creates a randomly generated number that is associated with the consignment. TruckPass uses a blockchain-driven digital ledger to record transactions from multiple contributors in a highly automated, digital and decentralized business process, enabling all authorized individuals to contribute to the chain and to “see” all transactions and updates in real time.

Despite all the buzz around blockchain, there are many misconceptions when it comes to this emerging technology. What exactly is a blockchain and do you need it in your environment? Will it replace our cloud environment? We will look into the advantages of using blockchain, possible use cases, and discover how we can incorporate blockchain technology into our current business infrastructure.

There are countless blockchain projects across the world. Many have failed, but others have succeeded and are having real impacts across different industries. The question is how do you use blockchain technology and apply its benefits to develop innovative, meaningful solutions that will truly change daily experiences? This session will discuss what is really happening with business blockchain use cases and how to truly leverage blockchain to disrupt processes and experiences.

The financial sector is perhaps the market that is seeing the greatest impact of the emergence of blockchain technology. This session will discuss how blockchain is changing the finance and the implications and opportunities for the sector going forward.
