Any discussion on blockchain AI has to also include a serverless big data solution as a quantum cloud microservice. Otherwise you're just leaving money on the table.

Concerning blockchain, the first and foremost advantage I've always thought of is solving the trust issue. To me, privacy come as a side effect of it. But since blockchain can now be hacked [1], I've become a little skeptical.

Concerning AI, it's mainly (just) the computing power.

I have not researched the market, but I have thought about it quite a bit. I think there is one main advantage that is trust.

Say we want to build a decentralized Google so that noone could own people's personal data and yet we train data-hungry AI for search, face recognition, ad recommendation etc.

I have thought about this idea quite a bit, but the current level of hardware (and software) is not enough yet.

You are right ai and blockchain are polar opposites.

Check out https://www.endor.com/

They are an interesting AI usecase with blockchain by some MIT guys.
