Blockchain and Smart Contracts (Series: Blockchain Basics)Financial Poise
Blockchain is a tool. Samson Williams likens blockchain to a group text message, in which each participant receives a distributed, time-stamped, tamper-resistant (and encrypted) record of data transactions. Each group text has these characteristics. Everyone in the group “sees” the data, and none can change or gainsay any group message. Smart contracts are computer code put on the blockchain (how, exactly?) that establishes self-executing terms and conditions of a transaction. Are smart contracts smart? If certain data comes in and fulfills a pre-set term or condition, then rights and responsibilities are formed, terminated, modified, or shifted among the parties. Ah certainty and transparency, but also ah garbage in and garbage out. Are some contractual terms not amenable to smart contracting? And are smart contracts necessarily contracts? If not, can they still be useful? If a smart contract is a contract, what is the governing document? Is it the words business people and lawyers use, or is it the code that is supposed to reflect the words?

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for businessSteven Finlay
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning are now mainstream business tools. They are being applied across many industries to increase profits, reduce costs, save lives and improve customer experiences.
This presentation, based on the #1 Amazon bestselling book, cuts through the technical jargon that is often associated with these subjects. It delivers a simple and concise introduction for managers and business people.
The focus is very much on practical application, and how to work with technical specialists (data scientists) to maximise the benefits of these technologies.
Generative AI models, such as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion, can create new and original content like text, images, video, audio, or other data from simple prompts, as well as handle complex dialogs and reason about problems with or without images. These models are disrupting traditional technologies, from search and content creation to automation and problem solving, and are fundamentally shaping the future user interface to computing devices. Generative AI can apply broadly across industries, providing significant enhancements for utility, productivity, and entertainment. As generative AI adoption grows at record-setting speeds and computing demands increase, on-device and hybrid processing are more important than ever. Just like traditional computing evolved from mainframes to today’s mix of cloud and edge devices, AI processing will be distributed between them for AI to scale and reach its full potential.
In this presentation you’ll learn about:
- Why on-device AI is key
- Full-stack AI optimizations to make on-device AI possible and efficient
- Advanced techniques like quantization, distillation, and speculative decoding
- How generative AI models can be run on device and examples of some running now
- Qualcomm Technologies’ role in scaling on-device generative AI

The AI Platform Business Revolution: Matchmaking, Empathetic Technology, and ...Steve Omohundro
Popular media is full of stories about self-driving cars, video deepfakes, and robot citizens. But this kind of popular artificial intelligence is having very little business impact. The actual impact of AI on business is in automating business processes and in creating the "AI Platform Business Revolution". Platform companies create value by facilitating exchanges between two or more groups. AI is central to these businesses for matchmaking between producers and consumers, organizing massive data flows, eliminating malicious content, providing empathetic personalization, and generating engagement through gamification. The platform structure creates moats which generate outsized sustainable profits. This is why platform businesses are now dominating the world economy. The top five companies by market cap, half of the unicorn startups, and most of the biggest IPOs and acquisitions are platforms. For example, the platform startup ByteDance is now worth $75 billion based on three simple AI technologies.
In this talk we survey the current state of AI and show how it will generate massive business value in coming years. A recent McKinsey study estimates that AI will likely create over 70 trillion dollars of value by 2030. Every business must carefully choose its AI strategy now in order to thrive over coming decades. We discuss the limitations of today's deep learning based systems and the "Software 2.0" infrastructure which has arisen to support it. We discuss the likely next steps in natural language, machine vision, machine learning, and robotic systems. We argue that the biggest impact will be created by systems which serve to engage, connect, and help individuals. There is an enormous opportunity to use this technology to create both social and business value.

Innovation potential of the blockchain, and of decentralized applicationsJan Brejcha
The chain of transaction blocks, or blockchain, is a trustless shared public ledger of bitcoin transactions, synchronized in a peer-to-peer network. Thanks to decentralization the ledger is immutable.
The year 2018 is the year of blockchain applications with several ongoing use-cases coming to realization and the vendor landscape also gained more depth and a better structure after years of press and vendor hype, fueled equally by commercial self-interest and a genuine desire for innovation.

Episode-of-care payment and comprehensive care payment systems can help providers prevent health problems; avoid the occurrence of acute episodes among individuals who have health conditions; prevent poor outcomes during major acute episodes, such as infections, complications, and hospital readmissions; and reduce the costs of successful treatment.
Using cryptography to keep exchanges secure, blockchain provides a decentralised database, or “digital ledger”, of transactions that everyone on the network can see. This network is essentially a chain of computers that must all approve an exchange before it can be verified and recorded.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Editor's Notes
The technological singularity (also, simply, the singularity)[1] is the hypothesis that the invention of artificial superintelligence will abruptly trigger runaway technological growth, resulting in unfathomable changes to human civilization.[2] - Wikipedia
Moore’s law vs. Super-exponential growth: S shaped growth
“Ray Kurzweil - Exponential growth is deceptive however, staying almost flat at first until it hits what Kurzweil calls "the knee in the curve" where it then rises on an almost vertical trajectory. In fact, Kurzweil believes evolutionary progress is super-exponential because even more resources are deployed to the ‘winning’ process. So instead of picturing a single growth curve, think instead of a continuous series of ‘S curves’. An example Kurzweil offers in this context is that when vacuum tubes stopped getting faster and cheaper, transistors became popular and continued the overall exponential growth. Moore’s law vs. Super-exponential growth”
Large data set & processing tools
Modern algorithms: Backprop, CNN, LSTM
Infrastructure / Software
Deep learning (also known as deep structured learning or hierarchical learning) is part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on learning data representations, as opposed to task-specific algorithms. Learning can be supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised.

1 What is ML
Branch of computer science and AI
Lots of data to a computer so they can figure it out
Two definitions of Machine Learning are offered. Arthur Samuel described it as: "the field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed." This is an older, informal definition.
Tom Mitchell provides a more modern definition: "A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.
2. It is important to distinguish between big data and machine learning.
You need lots of seed data for creating a machine learning algorithm or related algorithms e.g. DNA data
We can get this data from just who we are – demographics, psychographics, digital exhaust, our health records, education and the list keeps going.
Ok so what – you collect this data and then ML will mine this data, find patterns and model behavior with interactive responses.
1. Amazon’s Dash and 23 &me collect a ton of data about their users which they can put to use for predictions with machine learning. Pillo is the in house health robot
Now that we know what it is, let us look at why it is important
Uses training data and feedback from humans to learn the relationship of given inputs to a given output
An algorithm explores input data without being given an explicit output variable
Algorithm learns a task simply by trying to maximize rewards it receives for its actions
Supervisd: Uses training set to make a prediction.
E.g. Model predicts diamond prices based on past prices.
Unsupervised: Provide data without suggesting anything so computer can identify patterns or groupings.
E.g. Customer segmentation, DNA groupings.
Supervised - regression
Using the features provided in the training set make a prediction. Fit a curve using the data provided.
E.g. Price of diamond = X*Cut + Y*Clarity + Z*Size + other features…
Blockchain formation. The main chain (black) consists of the longest series of blocks from the genesis block (green) to the current block. Orphan blocks (purple) exist outside of the main chain.
Bitcoin network data
A blockchain,[1][2][3] originally block chain,[4][5] is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography.[1][6] Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block,[6] a timestamp and transaction data.[7]
As Nate noted below, there is also a 1MB block size limit which limits how many transactions can be included in a block.
Currently over 500K bitcoin blocks

His paper talks about the details of the bitcoin and blockchain. I have simplified the protocol or process with 5 steps and will go through each one in detail.
Consider a user case where a blockchain based search engine wants users to use its search engine to get the data and rewards them for every search with its tokens.
The steps that are followed are: Broadcast transactions i.e. paying the user from search engines account, Verify the user’s signature / funds, verify the user has not double spent the money (paid you and paid himself) using the concept of mining & proof of work and then the final step of rechecking transactions and committing before starting a new block,
Training set:
Data and answers for each row e.g. Diamond prices are determined by its cut, clarity, color and size.
In our world - Users propensity to purchase (engagement, Click through, purchase etc) is determined by the context, previous purchases and other parameters.
Supervised Learning:
Uses a training set to make the prediction for a new observation. For example, you give a new diamond’s cut clarity and size to the model and it will predict a price based on the other past training samples you have provided.
Unsupervised Learning:
Provide data without suggesting anything so computer can identify patterns or groupings.
Next, lets talk about the high level steps in Machine learning.
