An introduction to A.I,
Blockchain and IoT
Johann Romefort, Tech Evangelist
What is A.I?
And why should you care?
Artificial Intelligence is based on the assumption
that the process of human thought can be
mechanized
The Turing Test
“A computer would deserve
to be called intelligent if it
could deceive a human into
believing that it was human”
- Alan Turing
Development of computer systems able
to perform tasks normally requiring
human intelligence
Question
Can you think of existing A.I
system doing that already?
Why is everyone
talking about A.I?
A.I is different from
regular software
A.I Learns
A.I Predicts
A.I creates
new experiences
Breakthrough in
A.I
Why now?

Largest market for A.I
A.I can see the
unseen
What does A.I
need to flourish?

What is
Blockchain?
And why should you care?
The history of
value exchange
3500 years ago...
The Signet Ring
Trust Regulators
Nowadays...
The “middleman” model is far
from being perfect
Question
Why is trust in
institutions declining?
What is the
blockchain?
It’s a technology to enable
transactions between
non-trusted parties
without the need
for a middleman
A public ledger
Centralized vs Distributed
Immutable:
Data cannot be changed, just added
The blockchain is a
public, distributed
and immutable
database

DEMO TIME!
Why do we need
blockchain?
Question
What kind of data do
you produce & who
owns this data?
We’ve lost control of
our personal data
Tim Berners Lee
Blockchain has the
potential to disrupt
the way we share
data
Blockchain
Industry use-cases
Supply Chain Management
Irrefutable traceability of goods
Food safety & sanitary risks
Fight Fraud & Corruption
Blockchain for the automotive industry - use casesAutomated
Transactions
Blockchain provides a
new model to
exchange value,
share data &
prevent
fraud
The Internet Of Things
What are
those
things?
A growing market
From IoT To Internet of Everything
Question
What do we gain by
connecting everything?
Access to even
more data
Enrich customer
experience
Increase safety
IoT in Retail:
Digitalizing Brick & mortar
Smart Shelves
Smart Inventory
Management
with RFID, sensors...
… or drones.
Convergence of
A.I, Blockchain
and IoT
IoT
as a source of
data
Blockchain
as a secure storage
for the world’s data
A.I
as the brain for
the data economy
Potential for entirely new
customer experiences
