cointelegraph.com:

As blockchain technology and artificial intelligence evolve in parallel, companies are looking into ways to combine their powers effectively. This interview delves into how these revolutionary fields are converging to create unique value propositions across industries. Through a discussion on real-world applications, data privacy and ownership, optimized trade discovery, and asset management, Mattereum CEO Vinay Gupta, Memri.io founder Ruben Daniels and NeoSwap CEO John Ennis reveal the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Q: How do each of your projects leverage the combination of AI and blockchain technology to create unique value propositions in your respective industries?

Vinay Gupta: Mattereum is here as infrastructure for AI companies to buy things in the real world. Sellers bring their items to us, then we turn those assets into a machine-readable catalog entry called a Mattereum Asset Passport. AI systems evaluate those catalog offers and decide what they want to buy.

Here’s the magic: Each asset is legally bonded to an NFT, so the AI system just buys NFTs to take legal ownership of real-world assets from that catalog. AI systems can then resell that asset again using the NFT. This even works for physical real estate. You can buy actual buildings this way! It sounds impossible, but it’s live today. There’s a real estate pilot for sale.

Ruben Daniels: At Memri.io, we recognize that we need to focus on our cognitive, moral and creative capabilities, with sovereignty and in harmony with technological advancements.

Our platform, open to AI creators, provides data privacy and data ownership infrastructure, and enables individual and community users to actively filter, decide and
