How blockchain and AI can help during calamities – Consensus AI – Medium

Recently, super typhoon Mangkhut ravaged Asia, holding millions of people at a standstill across Guam, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China. It was the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines in five years, and the strongest to hit Hong Kong since 1983. Barely a week afterward, the US suffered from a natural disaster: Hurricane Florence. Natural disasters are inevitable, and while we cannot stop them altogether, technology is opening up more sophisticated and efficient ways to minimize the damage they cause. Consensus AI is a powerful ally for governments in several aspects of operations, including predicting the outcome of an impending calamity and speeding up disaster response time, ultimately ensuring fast responses during critical times. Although intimidating for some, governments can easily make the transition and reap the benefits of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence without having to suffer from technical complexities and arduous requisites.
