Wikipedia

• Blockchain: “A blockchain is a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography.”
• Artificial Intelligence: “In the field of computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals.”
• Machine Learning: “Machine learning (ML) is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to effectively perform a specific task without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead.”
