Decentralization At The Moment And Where AI Stands."Centralization is becoming an increasingly contentious point in the blockchain space as the decentralization of several crypto projects has come into question lately.[justify]
Blockchains that run on both proof-of-work (PoW) and proof-of-stake (PoS) protocols face a variety of issues that threaten their decentralized nature. As the centralized mining pools that support traditional PoW networks like Bitcoin continue to grow exponentially, decentralization of the networks decrease. Similarly, many PoS networks suffer from inequality in token distribution, giving wealthy investors an unfair degree of control over the network.[/justify]
To combat this threat, a new startup based in Switzerland plans to utilize artificial intelligence and neural networks to create an enhanced consensus algorithm unlike anything seen before." Personally I believe that the idea of introducing AI into the mix would be beneficial for people who do not want anybody to have control over their data however only time can tell before somebody learns how to exploit this.

VIA where they are currently incorporating AI and Blockchain for some of the largest energy companies to conceptualize and utilize their data properly.
On the other end of the spectrum
VELAS is working on the issue previously talked about in this thread "
V[font="Open Sans",sans-serif]ELAS (Virtual Expanding Learning Autonomous System) is a highly scalable, interoperable blockchain that uses AI technology to circumnavigate scalability and capacity limitations that are presented by human involvement. The improvements equate to a massive increase in transactional speeds when compared with existing blockchain networks." [/font][/color]

"Velas has already made the project available to developers to build on and begun working with companies like Mind.AI to develop systems on its VELAS mainnet. Asset tokenization, smart contract creation, and AI-integration are just a few of the benefits that the VELAS blockchain currently offers. Future developments, some of which will be launched this month, include a multi-signature wallet, custody solution and a fully licensed cryptocurrency exchange.[/justify]
The Velas token (VLX) is also scheduled for launch this month and will initially be issued to four masternodes which will begin to process transactions on the network. The initial public listing of the VLX token will be through an IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) before being made available on several major crypto exchanges. An expansion to 10 masternodes and AI-testing across four servers will follow in Autumn this year." Source:
