17 | Crypto and AI worlds collide

Chris Sinclair and Mark Monfort

In this episode we come to you live from the Australian Crypto Conference where we highlight the experiences and the convergence of AI and blockchain technologies. In news this week we coveredAmazon's $4 billion investment in Anthropic and improvements in ChatGPT 4O, alongside challenges like issues with facial recognition at Bunnings. In the blockchain and crypto segment, the discussion covered recent Blockies Awards winners, the need for better self-regulation and investor protection amidst rising scams, and positive developments including the RedBelly Network's Hutly project and the Reserve Bank of Australia's upcoming Project Acacia pilots.
