Day 1 started with a speech given by a Prime Minister of Malta, Hon. Joseph Muscat. “We must look to make sure other countries embrace this [blockchain] technology”, he said.

Later, there were many different panels, some of them concerned the following topics:

“Decentralised A.I.: an existential risk or an auspicious future?”

“How will blockchain, A.I. and IOT converge in the next decade?”

“What is web 3.0 and why does it matter?” – the speech was given by Dr Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia. Dr Sanger was talking, among other things, about how social media continues to dominate our social lives and emphasized that Big Tech corporations are now working more and more closely with governments around the world.

“Data mining: your online identity”: A.I., Big Data, blockchain and online identity have met in an inevitable intersection.

“The future of digital money”, with Bobby Lee from Bitcoin Foundation. While the short-term volatility of cryptocurrencies rages on, the ongoing adaption of digital money makes the transition all but assured.

“How does blockchain bring social benefits to emerging economies”: Developing countries like India, Kenya and others in East Africa are discovering an array of applications for blockchain that promise a secure, peer-to-peer mechanism for verifying the information.
