Meet the Keynote Speakers
Yuka Nakasone – Moderator & AI Advocate
Yuka Nakasone moderated the session and set the stage for a lively discussion. As part of the Global Chamber ongoing AI series, she introduced AI and blockchain as technologies with immense transformative potential across industries. Yuka explained how these innovations are often viewed as "deep tech" – technologies with the capacity to reshape business landscapes and societal frameworks.
Jacqueline Cooper – Blockchain Attorney & Founder of Blockchain Legal InstitutOur featured keynote speaker, Jacqueline Cooper, is a blockchain attorney, educator, and advocate. With years of hands-on experience in the blockchain space, Jacqui has worked across various sectors, from cryptocurrency to supply chain management. She’s the founder of the Blockchain Legal Institute, a resource hub aimed at making blockchain more accessible and understandable for businesses and individuals alike.Jacqui’s journey into blockchain started with Bitcoin mining, and she’s since authored multiple books on blockchain technology, focusing on legal frameworks and data security. Her wealth of knowledge provided attendees with valuable insights into how blockchain can revolutionize industries like agriculture, supply chain management, data security, and beyond.
Exploring the Synergy Between AI and Blockchain
AI and Blockchain in Agriculture: A Game-Changer
A key topic of discussion was the synergy between AI and blockchain, particularly in industries like agriculture. Jacqui shared an interesting example of how AI-powered weather sensors are used to gather crucial data for farms, with this data being stored securely on the Bitcoin blockchain. This combination ensures that the data is accurate, transparent, and tamper-proof, which is essential in industries where precision is critical.
Blockchain’s transparent nature helps ensure that every piece of data collected is recorded and stored in a secure, immutable ledger, reducing the risk of fraud and data manipulation. AI’s ability to analyze massive datasets combined with blockchain’s secure storage can transform agriculture by enabling smarter decision-making and better resource management.
The Importance of Data Security in the Age of AI
Another major focus of the session was data security. Jacqui emphasized the growing concern over securing digital assets, especially in the world of cryptocurrency and private keys. As blockchain adoption increases across various sectors, businesses need to understand the best practices for managing these digital assets to avoid security breaches—especially in light of recent incidents like the Los Angeles fire that destroyed private keys.
AI’s role in data collection, paired with blockchain’s secure storage, can enhance the security of sensitive data, providing industries with the means to securely store and manage valuable assets.
Blockchain and AI for Power Grid Security
The discussion also touched on the energy sector, where blockchain and AI are becoming game-changers in power grid security. As countries work to combat climate change and optimize energy use, these technologies provide a reliable means to monitor and manage energy consumption and resource distribution.
Blockchain ensures that data related to energy usage and grid performance is securely stored, while AI can analyze this data to predict trends and improve efficiency. However, Jacqui also pointed out that while blockchain offers robust data protection, there’s still much work to be done to ensure the safety of digital infrastructure in the face of cyber threats.
The Importance of Blockchain Education and Global Collaboration
One of the most impactful segments of the session was Jacqui’s call for blockchain education. As the technology rapidly evolves, it’s essential for businesses and individuals to become well-versed in blockchain fundamentals to harness its full potential. To this end, Jacqui encouraged attendees to explore the Blockchain Legal Institute and get involved in ongoing educational initiatives that aim to simplify blockchain for a broader audience.
She also shared her upcoming speaking engagement at the Maryland General Assembly, where she plans to advocate for the creation of a Maryland Blockchain Task Force. This initiative highlights the need for global collaboration and education to ensure that businesses are well-prepared for the changing technological landscape.
