San Francisco firm Salesforce has said there are $1tn in revenues to be made from AI-backed algorithms, and blockchain could provide the solution to the issue of bias in AI. The company is working with IBM on a project called “Watson for All”, which aims to use AI algorithms to help people make better decisions about healthcare services. Caplan added blockchain could also facilitate the use of cross-organisational data via shared homographic encryption, reducing bias by increasing the diversity of possible sources.
