"I find my feelings about AI are actually pretty similar to my feelings about blockchains: they do a poor job of much of what people try to do with them, they can't do the things their creators claim they one day might, and many of the things they are well suited to do may not be altogether that beneficial. And while I do think that AI tools are more broadly useful than blockchains, they also come with similarly monstrous costs."

The Four Horsemen of the Digital Apocalypse

Blockchain. Artificial Intelligence. Internet of Things. Big Data.

Do these terms sound familiar? You have probably been hearing some or all of them non stop for years. "They are the future. You don't want to be left behind, do you?"

While these topics, particularly crypto and AI, have been the subject of tech hype bubbles and inescapable on social media, there is actually something deeper and weirder going on if you scratch below the surface.

I am getting ready to apply for my PhD in financial technology, and in the academic business studies literature (Which is barely a science, but sometimes in academia you need to wade into the trash can.) any discussion of digital transformation or the process by which companies adopt IT seem to have a very specific idea about the future of technology, and it's always the same list, that list being, blockchain, AI, IoT, and Big Data. Sometimes the list changes with additions and substitutions, like the metaverse, advanced robotics, or gene editing, but there is this pervasive idea that the future of technology is fixed, and the list includes tech that goes from questionable to outright fraudulent, so where is this pervasive idea in the academic literature that has been bleeding into the wider culture coming from? What the hell is going on?

The answer is, it all comes from one guy. That guy is Klaus Schwab, the head of the World Economic Forum. Now there are a lot of conspiracies about the WEF and I don't really care about them, but the basic facts are it is a think tank that lobbies for sustainable capitalist agendas, and they famously hold a meeting every year where billionaires get together and talk about how bad they feel that they are destroying the planet and promise to do better. I am not here to pass judgement on the WEF. I don't buy into any of the conspiracies, there are plenty of real reasons to criticize them, and I am not going into that.

Basically, Schwab wrote a book titled the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In his model, the first three so-called industrial revolutions are:

1. The industrial revolution we all know about. Factories and mass production basically didn't exist before this. Using steam and water power allowed the transition from hand production to mass production, and accelerated the shift towards capitalism.

2. Electrification, allowing for light and machines for more efficient production lines. Phones for instant long distance communication. It allowed for much faster transfer of information and speed of production in factories.

3. Computing. The Space Age. Computing was introduced for industrial applications in the 50s, meaning previously problems that needed a specific machine engineered to solve them could now be solved in software by writing code, and certain problems would have been too big to solve without computing. Legend has it, Turing convinced the UK government to fund the building of the first computer by promising it could run chemical simulations to improve plastic production. Later, the introduction of home computing and the internet drastically affecting people's lives and their ability to access information.

That's fine, I will give him that. To me, they all represent changes in the means of production and the flow of information, but the Fourth Industrial revolution, Schwab argues, is how the technology of the 21st century is going to revolutionize business and capitalism, the way the first three did before. The technology in question being AI, Blockchain, IoT, and Big Data analytics. Buzzword, Buzzword, Buzzword.

The kicker though? Schwab based the Fourth Industrial revolution on a series of meetings he had, and did not construct it with any academic rigor or evidence. The meetings were with "numerous conversations I have had with business, government and civil society leaders, as well as technology pioneers and young people." (P.10 of the book) Despite apparently having two phds so presumably being capable of research, it seems like he just had a bunch of meetings where the techbros of the mid 2010s fed him a bunch of buzzwords, and got overly excited and wrote a book about it. And now, a generation of academics and researchers have uncritically taken that book as read, filled the business studies academic literature with the idea that these technologies are inevitably the future, and now that is permeating into the wider business ecosystem.

There are plenty of criticisms out there about the fourth industrial revolution as an idea, but I will just give the simplest one that I thought immediately as soon as I heard about the idea. How are any of the technologies listed in the fourth industrial revolution categorically different from computing? Are they actually changing the means of production and flow of information to a comparable degree to the previous revolutions, to such an extent as to be considered a new revolution entirely? The previous so called industrial revolutions were all huge paradigm shifts, and I do not see how a few new weird, questionable, and unreliable applications of computing count as a new paradigm shift.

What benefits will these new technologies actually bring? Who will they benefit? Do the researchers know? Does Schwab know? Does anyone know? I certainly don't, and despite reading a bunch of papers that are treating it as the inevitable future, I have not seen them offering any explanation.

There are plenty of other criticisms, and I found a nice summary from ICT Works here, it is a revolutionary view of history, an elite view of history, is based in great man theory, and most importantly, the fourth industrial revolution is a self fulfilling prophecy. One rich asshole wrote a book about some tech he got excited about, and now a generation are trying to build the world around it. The future is not fixed, we do not need to accept these technologies, and I have to believe a better technological world is possible instead of this capitalist infinite growth tech economy as big tech reckons with its midlife crisis, and how to make the internet sustainable as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook, the most monopolistic and despotic tech companies in the world, are running out of new innovations and new markets to monopolize. The reason the big five are jumping on the fourth industrial revolution buzzwords as hard as they are is because they have run out of real, tangible innovations, and therefore run out of potential to grow.

tumblr ate off the last few tags on that last reblog, so to summarize my thoughts here, essentially:

AI with ethically sourced data and low environmental impact designed to help streamline or add to your artistic process without replacing it? yippee!!!!!

(examples: AI vocal synths that rely on paid voice work from a voice provider who was hired specifically for the project, specialized digital brushes that dynamically replicate real-life mediums like watercolor or gouache, etc...)

AI that depends on continuous rampant theft to function? made with the intent of replacing artists or eliminating the need for any amount of technical skill?? AND has widespread environmental impact??? i am legitimately beating you to death with hammers.

(examples: legitimately every single image generation AI i've seen die die die)

Transforming AML: Exploding the potential of AI solutions

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/transforming-aml-exploding-the-potential-of-ai-solutions/

Transforming AML: Exploding the potential of AI solutions

Do you need a captivating method of presenting your anti-money laundering (AML) system to clients? As a result of the increasing number of online transactions, fraudsters, and money launderers have had their work made easier.

An AML AI solution is a powerful tool that can help you fend off these threats and protect your financial environment. A sentiment not far off from what President Abraham Lincoln once noted about the future saying, “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” Nowadays, AI systems are leading by example and improving the process of combating money laundering.

AI technology used in AML systems provides distinctive features essential to AML compliance. It speeds up transaction monitoring, enhances it, and helps institutions beat offenders while keeping the law on their side. This paper discusses how AML AI solutions can change the economic crime-fighting landscape in this article.

1. Facilitated efficiency of transaction monitoring

An AML AI solution boosts transaction monitoring by reducing errors by an average of 90%. Modern AI systems work in real-time processing data significantly faster than employing ordinary methods.

They outperform other traditional methods in pattern recognition and identification of suspicious activities, and greatly reduce the number of false alarms. For instance, false positives within AI web services have decreased by up to 80% recently rendering significant time and resources to financial institutions.

This means that AML systems are able to invest their efforts in any suspicions or alerts that may be genuine. This precision helps in making faster and more accurate responses to financial crimes.

Artificial intelligence is a major asset in contemporary AML initiatives due to its capability to provide great results. In addition, financial organizations that have chosen to implement AI-based AML platforms have delivered improved performance, indicating that money, time, and resources can be better managed.

2. Compliance to set laws and regulations

It is not easy to work through and overcome various moving hurdles of regulations that exist in life. Anticipating the trend in law-making and change, AI solutions in AML bring to the table a flexible tool in software. One study revealed that 70% of financial institutions raised compliance levels by implementing AI-assisted AML systems.

These systems provide enhanced reporting invention and dramatically minimize human error in compliance tasks. Therefore, with improved AML undertakings through the integration of artificial intelligence, institutions stand protected from penalties and also reputational loss, thus making the financial world secure.

Also, these systems are capable of offering extensive records, which run a very crucial part during reviews made by a certain regulator.

USA leads in AI with the National AI Initiative Act and AI Bill of Rights, ensuring secure and ethical development.

3. Early estimation of hyped operations

Besides, timely identification of suspicious activities is possible only if it is fast. AI solutions are recognized with real-time data processing, allowing institutions to identify fraud as it unfolds. Such a rapid response helps to prevent losses and build up the necessary protections against money laundering.

Even more importantly, AI goes beyond merely reporting strong outliers; it identifies trends that an analyst might overlook. These systems, using machine learning algorithms, are incredibly accurate and are of high value in combating financial crimes. Indeed, being proactive rather than reactive puts financial institutions in a better place regarding counteracting emerging evils.

4. Refrain from interference with human activity in the analysis

Traditional AML systems suffer from human error that results in such scenarios as omission of threats or providing false positives. Intelligent AML solutions drive down the level of manual processing, minimizing the chances of errors.

Large data sets can be examined by machine learning software in mere seconds, and potential threats are detected with great accuracy. For example, artificial intelligence-based AML systems caused a false positive reduction by the end of 2023 by 50%.

Such systems offer optimization and decrease the possibility of critical failures by simplifying certain essential tasks. On similar grounds, institutions can also scale down the pressure being applied to their AML compliance teams so that they can engage in more core activities.

5. The last control on the cost efficiency of AML management

Organization of an efficient AML system is costly; however, implementation of AI solutions significantly lowers these costs. With the retention of data for analysis and constant monitoring of transactions, these systems greatly reduced the amount of time and resources required in the compliance and fraud detection processes.

The use of AI in AML systems now allows for tasks to be solved in minutes that previously took hours, given the multiple resources and operational costs saved. The efficiency managers of the financial institutions get to cut down a huge cost while at the same time, they are easily able to cope with the requirements of tackling money laundering cases.

According to received data, AI minimizes the number of false positives by 70%, and it significantly decreases the cost for firms all around the world. Furthermore, these efficiencies enable small institutions to work state-of-the-art AML measures that were previously out of their reach.

6. Better data processing attributes

Contemporary AML systems must analyze vast volumes of information when seeking to detect economic offenses. Traditionally, it may be challenging to deal with such huge sets of data and avoid essential details; with the help of AI solutions, dealing with these datasets is not a problem.

Their advanced algorithms analyze obscure relationships and certain patterns with a great level of speed.

The capability of analyzing and handling data makes AI laudable in helping institutions detect risks and alert institutions to suspicious activities. Another finding is that AI solutions have brought down false positives by 50 percent and enhanced detection systems and effectiveness.

Besides, these systems can be extended by connecting other technologies like blockchain for more detailed monitoring.

7. Learning or education as multi-dimensional and interconnected

They are an AI environment for compliance management that evolves constantly and grows as a living organism. Such systems learn from large amounts of data, and, by identifying trends in this data, enhance over time. This keeps several institutions informed of the latest gimmicks by fraudsters alike who are ever-evolving new strategies.

Through machine learning, AI transforms its operation and effectiveness in that it prevents and prosecutes economic crimes. Through effective ways to change its tune and respond effectively to new threats, AI guarantees that financial institutions hold efficient and aggressive stands against money laundering and fraud.

Additionally, the institutions that use this capability can also gain the capacity for predicting future risks as well as designing preventive measures to augment the firm’s security systems.

8. Better customer trust and company image

The hostile application of advanced AML AI solutions doesn’t bring benefits to the internal processes only it also improves customers’ confidence and brand image. Consumers prefer to work with financial firms that present sound practices concerning fraud and related compliance measures.

Through preventing scenarios related to fraud as well as guaranteeing smooth compliance institutions render themselves reputable and safe for use according to the views/interests of their clients. This increased level of trust can give the current customer better loyalty and execute competition edge inside the market.

Transforming Industries: The Power of AI-Enhanced Blockchain for Automated Decision-Making

The fusion of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly reshaping industries ranging from finance to healthcare and supply chains. One of the most powerful results of this combination is the emergence of smart contracts—self-executing contracts encoded directly onto a blockchain. When enhanced with AI, these contracts are no longer static; they become intelligent, dynamic, and capable of making real-time decisions based on changing conditions.

This evolving technology landscape has the potential to automate complex decision-making, optimize business processes, and increase efficiency. In particular, decentralized platforms are playing a critical role in enabling this synergy by creating environments where both AI-powered automation and blockchain’s trustless execution can coexist and thrive.

In this blog, we’ll explore how AI and blockchain can work together to automate decision-making, and how a decentralized platform can elevate smart contracts by integrating both of these transformative technologies.

What Are Smart Contracts?

At their core, smart contracts are self-executing agreements with terms and conditions directly written into code. When predefined conditions are met, the contract automatically executes, removing the need for intermediaries like lawyers or notaries. This not only reduces operational costs but also improves security and transparency.

For example, in supply chains, a smart contract could automatically release payment when a shipment is verified as delivered on the blockchain, ensuring a smooth, automated transaction. Whether for transferring assets, executing business logic, or managing complex agreements, smart contracts guarantee that every transaction is secure, immutable, and recorded on the blockchain.

Key Features of Smart Contracts:

Automation: Executes automatically once conditions are met.

Transparency: All transactions are recorded on the blockchain for full visibility.

Security: The cryptographic nature of blockchain ensures tamper-proof contracts.

Decentralization: Operates without intermediaries, directly between parties.

How Does AI Complement Smart Contracts?

While smart contracts automate transactions based on preset conditions, AI adds a layer of intelligence that allows these contracts to adapt and evolve. AI brings the capability to analyze large datasets, learn from historical data, and make real-time decisions based on incoming data, enabling smart contracts to become more flexible and responsive to changing environments.

AI can make smart contracts capable of:

Predicting outcomes based on historical data.

Optimizing decisions in real-time by factoring in external variables like market conditions or user behavior.

Automating adaptive logic that can modify contract terms based on evolving circumstances.

Enhancing security by identifying anomalies and preventing fraudulent actions.

Key Features of AI:

Data-Driven Decision Making: AI processes vast amounts of data to make informed decisions.

Learning and Adaptation: AI improves over time as it learns from new data.

Predictive Capabilities: AI anticipates potential outcomes, adjusting the contract accordingly.

Optimization: AI ensures smart contracts remain efficient, adjusting to new conditions.

Decentralization: Unlocking the Full Potential of Smart Contracts and AI

As AI and blockchain technologies evolve, their integration is unlocking new possibilities for automated decision-making. The key to this integration lies in decentralized platforms that provide the infrastructure necessary to combine both technologies in a secure and scalable way.

Such platforms enable AI models and smart contracts to run in a decentralized, trustless environment, eliminating the need for centralized authorities that could manipulate or control the decision-making process. Decentralization also ensures that both data and decision-making are transparent, auditable, and resistant to tampering or fraud.

One such platform is designed to seamlessly integrate AI with blockchain, offering a solution where businesses can deploy smart contracts that are enhanced by AI-driven automation. This ensures that contracts are more than just static agreements—they become intelligent, adaptable systems that respond to real-time data and dynamically adjust to changing conditions.

How Decentralized Platforms Enhance Smart Contracts with AI

A decentralized platform offers several advantages when it comes to integrating AI with smart contracts. These platforms can:

Scalability and Efficiency: Handle high-speed, low-latency transactions, ensuring that AI-enhanced smart contracts can analyze real-time data and make decisions without delays.

Decentralized AI Execution: Allow AI models to be deployed directly on the blockchain, ensuring the decision-making process remains transparent and secure while avoiding the vulnerabilities of centralized AI providers.

Interoperability: Enable seamless integration with other blockchain networks, data sources, and external AI models, creating a more robust ecosystem where smart contracts can access a wider range of data and interact with diverse systems.

AI-Driven Automation: Enable businesses to create smart contracts that adjust terms in real-time based on inputs like market conditions, user behavior, or data from sensors and IoT devices.

Enhanced Security and Privacy: Blockchain’s inherent security ensures that both the contract and the data it relies on remain tamper-proof, while AI can help identify fraud or unusual behavior in real-time.

Industries Transformed by AI-Powered Smart Contracts

The combination of AI and smart contracts opens up a world of possibilities across a variety of industries:

Decentralized Finance (DeFi): In DeFi, AI-powered smart contracts can predict market trends, optimize lending rates, and adjust collateral requirements automatically based on real-time data. By integrating AI, decentralized platforms can make dynamic adjustments to contracts in response to shifting financial landscapes.

Supply Chain and Logistics: Supply chain management benefits significantly from AI-powered smart contracts. For example, smart contracts can automatically adjust payment terms, notify stakeholders, and trigger alternative actions if a shipment is delayed or rerouted, ensuring smooth operations without human intervention.

Healthcare: AI-enhanced smart contracts in healthcare can validate patient data, process insurance claims, and adjust coverage terms based on real-time medical data. Blockchain guarantees that every action is securely recorded, while AI optimizes decisions and reduces administrative overhead.

Insurance: Insurance providers can use AI to validate claims and automatically adjust premiums or release payments based on real-time inputs from IoT devices. Smart contracts ensure that every step of the process is transparent, secure, and automated.

Real Estate: In real estate, AI can predict market trends and adjust property sale terms dynamically based on factors like interest rates or buyer demand. Smart contracts on a decentralized platform can also handle contingencies (e.g., repairs or inspections) without requiring manual intervention.

The Future of AI and Blockchain Integration

As AI and blockchain continue to advance, their integration will unlock even more intelligent, autonomous systems. Platforms that can seamlessly integrate both technologies will empower businesses to create smarter contracts that not only automate decisions but also improve over time by learning from new data.

Decentralized platforms will play an essential role in this evolution, offering scalable and secure environments where smart contracts and AI can be deployed together to handle increasingly complex, real-time processes across industries.

In the future, AI-powered smart contracts will continue to evolve, becoming more adaptive, self-optimizing, and capable of handling an even broader range of applications. The potential for businesses to automate processes, reduce costs, and increase efficiency is vast, and decentralized platforms are at the heart of this transformation.
