"The hot topic for me is the ultimate synergy between blockchain and AI. "
This also excites me... I have been following Ray Kurzweil, a futurist that works for google for some time now and he has proposed a 'theory of singularity'. You may or may not be familiar, I have a post with a video of his embedded where he speaks on the topic. Basically he proposes that by 2045, we will no longer be able to control/predict the effects of human and AI interaction as AI will have achieved/surpassed human intelligence..
Very interesting... Hope you are well!! Love your content, thank you..
