DepositphotosAs the internet evolves, what will be the impact of the convergence of the current IoT infrastructure with blockchain and artificial intelligence? That brings us to an important question: Would the emerging convergence of the current IoT infrastructure with blockchain and artificial intelligence bring much-needed security to the changing internet? Acknowledging this emerging reality, Risk Group initiated a much-needed discussion on “The Convergence of Blockchain and the Internet of things (IoT)” with Dr. John Cohn, an IBM Fellow at the IBM Watson, Internet of Things Division, on Risk Roundup. Internet of things, blockchain, and artificial intelligence are some of the leading drivers of the changing internet ecosystem. While the internet of things convergence to blockchain and artificial intelligence has a great promise and is changing the very fabric of the internet infrastructure, protocols and processes, the changing geopolitics and complex security challenges must be identified, understood and tackled before these converging systems get widely adopted.
