Brain as a DAC

What is the blockchain?

2

A decentralized public transaction ledger

A currency, finance, economic, smart property system

An enabler of the M2M/IOT machine economy

A registry, listing, and management system for all of the

world’s assets, smart property, and itemizable quanta

A society’s public records repository and legal, health,

and governance system

A new form of information technology, a decentralized

system of checks and balances, an infrastructure, an

organizing system that is universal and of planetary-scale

Brain as a DAC

App #1: Friendly AI

5

Artificial Intelligence

Digital intelligences running on

consensus-managed

smartnetworks

Good reputational standing

required to conduct operations

Resource access, fund-raising,

services, contracts

Consensus only validates and

records bonafide transactions

from ‘good’ agents

Brain as a DAC

App #2: Blockchain Deep-Learners

6

Artificial Intelligence

Crucial moment for AI: large data

corpora and ‘simple’ machine

learning algorithms

Narrow AI: Google News, Translate,

Image Recognition

Broad AI: Genomes, Connectomes

Large databases of personal

connectomes reveal brain structure

Blockchain EMR, genome,

connectome file sharing

Thinking: Input-Processing-Output

Critical blockchain functionality

Tracking, universal real-time on-demand

access, data quality validation, historical

ledger, network effect, dynamic optimization

Memory: modular and manipulable

Neural Turing Machines: memory as machine

learning network add-on

Neuroscience: accentuation and blocking

Storage

Distributed, on-chain pointers, swappable

File-Serving Github/IPFS serving, versioning, soft-hashing
