Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning: Hype or Help?

The mortgage industry has been talking about ending its'Paper-Palooza' for at least 20 years as we linger behind other industries like healthcare and insurance. Digital technology opportunities span the entire ecosystem, bound only by the willingness of its participants. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are the most understood and deployed, thereby leading the way in these early stages. Blockchain, on the other hand, is more "fuzzy" to many, yet has a persuasive cast of evangelists. There are companies, and even countries, being built on blockchain tech, such as Figure and Liquid Mortgage.
