How Cortex brings AI on the Blockchain – Hacker Noon

Smart Contracts may be one of the biggest drive behind the enthusiasm for blockchain. The idea is to digitally facilitate, verify, and enforce the negotiation and execution of a contract, which is carried out simultaneously in a distributed fashion on multiple nodes in a blockchain. However, the current smart contract protocol is far from perfect, suffering from both limited computing capacity and flawed governance. The simplicity of the smart contract may not seem to be a big issue right now but its limitations may pose a threat to applications on blockchain. Without enhancing the capability of the smart contract it is hard to implement real-world decentralized applications on the blockchain.
