21/02/2018

Aston BS

On Wednesday 21 February Aston Business School invite you to attend a presentation from keynote speaker Rahul Rumalla, founder of Paperchain, to discuss the disruptive potential on blockchain and artificial intelligence. Then with a panel of experts and influencers from various sectors he will discuss challenges, opportunities and case studies.

While the blockchain movement is poised on removing intermediaries, artificial intelligence is a rapidly evolving trend that provides predictive insights from massive amounts of data in order to make processes more efficient. Recent studies show that businesses recognise the importance of both emerging technologies, but do not know how to respond to this trend.

The event will  explain both emerging technologies and explore specific use cases for the financial world, media and entertainment, the supply chain and the legal world.
