The global system behind a viewer’s transaction of watching a movie or TV show impacts viewers and show creators every day. What if all stakeholders had the same facts – Writers, Producers, Directors, Unions, Studios, Networks, Distributors, Theaters, Broadcasters, Cable Providers, Satellite providers, OTT providers and viewers? Blockchains offer precisely this opportunity. In this article we are going to explore new methods for enabling accountability in pre-production, production, post production, distribution, consumption and reporting with a secure chain of custody and metadata to be accessed, including key social attributes such as viewing method, display usage, rights compliance, and digital rights management. Speaker : Steve Wong, HPE

Blockchain would be the future trend. The critical milestone would be the enterprise applications such as fintech, IoT, supply chain, vendor, and etc.

A brief introduction to Blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and smart contracts. What is it, why it matters, and how it will change the world.

Blockchain technology has seen significant growth and investment in recent years. Over $921 million has been invested in Bitcoin and blockchain companies, with $500 million invested in 2015 alone. Many financial institutions and corporations are testing and investing in blockchain technology. While the technology is still in the early stages of development, the number of use cases and startups in the space has expanded rapidly. However, regulatory uncertainty and a potential lack of standardization could slow further growth and adoption of blockchain.

This presentation explores how the blockchain ecosystem is developing to support a vibrant data economy,. We look at issues of why data quality matters, how AI needs trusted data, and how massive investment is coming into the blockchain-powered data economy. We also look at key ways blockchain is enabling innovation in the consumer data economy.. We examine how two major tech companies are taking action in blockchain, and suggest things that any company can do now.

Blockchain is an immutable and secure distributed ledger that allows for a single version of truth across multiple parties. It is the technology that underlies Bitcoin, which is a cryptocurrency that solves issues with traditional banking like transaction fees, fake currencies, and transaction times. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on the blockchain in an immutable way that prevents hacking. Blockchain has various use cases in healthcare like creating longitudinal patient records by compiling medical data from different providers on an interoperable ledger, improving master patient indices to reduce duplicate records, enabling automatic claims adjudication, and improving supply chain management through smart contracts.

This document discusses the distributed ledger landscape and who is developing shared, replicated ledgers and why. It outlines the characteristics of distributed ledgers and the motivations for building non-proof-of-work ledgers and private blockchains. Known, trusted parties are preferred over unknown, untrusted parties due to unclear governance and scalability challenges of public blockchains. Permissioned blockchains with legally accountable validators are seen as more suitable for settling off-chain assets like securities and fiat. While distributed ledgers provide benefits, their use cases depend on factors like whether participants are known or anonymous, and what type of consensus is required.

The document discusses how blockchain technology can reinvent markets. It begins with an introduction to blockchain and how it uses distributed ledger systems to record transactions across networks of computers. Examples are given of how blockchain could change money and payments by making them faster, cheaper and more secure. It also explores how blockchain could change financial markets and insurance by disintermediating middlemen. Opportunities discussed include improving access, reducing fraud, enhancing data analytics and more. The document promotes an online MIT course on future commerce that will cover these topics.

Blockchain is more than just cryptocurrencies. How is Blockchain technology being used in real companies? This talk discusses innovative industry use cases and proof of concepts in the areas of financial services, identity, supply chain, and government/social impact. We will also discuss what will be needed before we see mass adoption of blockchain technology.

This document provides an overview of blockchain technology. It defines blockchain as a distributed digital ledger of records linked through cryptography. Each new record is hashed and linked to previous entries, allowing data to be recorded but not altered. The document discusses how blockchain is used in Bitcoin to record transactions in a decentralized manner. It also describes how smart contracts can be implemented on blockchain to automate processes like payments, insurance claims, and more based on predefined rules and conditions. While blockchain may face challenges around identity, data corrections, and bureaucratic resistance, the technology of smart contracts is seen as its most promising application.

The document discusses how blockchain technology can change the insurance industry. It explains that blockchain uses a distributed digital ledger that is incorruptible to record transactions. This allows for transparency, fraud prevention, and no single point of failure. Smart contracts enable the automatic execution of contracts without middlemen. For insurance, the blockchain can be used to verify property ownership and claims history, remove the need for certificates and audits, and provide permanent provenance and authentication of identities and transactions.

Bitcoin is a well-known technological achievement in the digital age. More individuals recognise its benefits as it becomes more widely available and utilised.

This document summarizes key points about Bitcoin, blockchain technology, and cryptocurrencies. It discusses how Bitcoin works through a peer-to-peer network and cryptography to validate transactions. It also outlines companies working in the Bitcoin ecosystem that have received over $475 million in funding. Both benefits and drawbacks of Bitcoin are presented. The document concludes by suggesting the blockchain technology underlying Bitcoin could transform how property rights are transferred through ledgers in a fast, transparent, and secure manner.

Jamie Burke, as Europe's leading blockchain investor, discussses the opportunities and risks of building startups today and tomorrow. And explains how startups can navigate them to beat the pack.

William Mougayar gave a keynote on redefining security with blockchain technology. He discussed how blockchain, cryptography, and distributed systems can challenge traditional notions of security. New platforms are emerging that implement decentralized security models like IPFS for file storage, Synereo for social media, and Ethereum for building decentralized applications. These platforms may help address big problems around data privacy, identity ownership, and the decentralization of computing architectures. The talk concluded that learning blockchains and applying their principles of decentralization could help rethink how to securely build new applications in the future.

This document discusses how blockchain can help enterprises by increasing trust, accountability, and transparency across business networks. It explains that blockchain enables new business models by leveraging partner ecosystems more efficiently. Enterprises need to develop blockchain strategies now to improve growth, react to competition, and increase security. The document provides advice on how to strategically identify opportunities and vulnerabilities when developing a blockchain strategy. It also outlines how IBM's blockchain services can help with industry expertise, open source leadership, demonstrated success, security, and individualized attention.
