Overview
The world produces over 2.5 quint billion bytes of data every single day. However, only a small percentage of this data is being analysed and used for the advancement of Artificial Intelligence. There are many constraints that revolve around the stigma of data sharing, especially in areas like privacy and provenance. In what ways can the introduction of blockchain address this situation?
Join us as we dive deep into this topic and understand more about the trusted data framework that will cover privacy regulations in Singapore, how blockchain can help in this area and the implications of introducing such new technology.
