At first glance, AI and blockchain seem like completely disparate realms. For instance, blockchain emphasises decentralisation but suffers from constrained memory and throughput rates. On the other hand, AI thrives on massive datasets and demands high-performance computing. To elaborate, Machine learning (ML) models – especially deep learning networks – require enormous amounts of data to train effectively, often relying on powerful GPUs or specialised hardware to process this information quickl

Many generative AI tools seem to possess the power of prediction. Conversational AI chatbots like ChatGPT can suggest the next verse in a song or poem. Software like DALL-E or Midjourney can create original art or realistic images from natural language descriptions. Code completion tools like GitHub Copilot can recommend the next few lines of code. But generative AI is not predictive AI.
