We are surrounded with products and services that have been powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Our emails detecting spam, webpage offering ads of the products we are interested in, speech and text recognition, are some of the potent examples of our daily lives being powered by Machine Learning (ML). But ML has the power to reshape humanity and for the better. Machine Learning is considered as the most dynamic and progressive form of human-like Artificial Intelligence. Today ML is being used extensively in various industries like automobiles, genetics, medicine, finance etc. to automate procedures, in reducing the processing time and to remove the possibility of human errors.

The biggest recent news in the crypto world is that China issued a ban on ICOs, swiftly followed by South Korea. Japan is also rumored to be considering a similar ban. The U.S. SEC has also issued a warning against "pump-and-dump" ICO schemes, and is evaluating whether some offerings were not disguised securities following the DAO case. The above raises questions about the meaning of money, securities, and might help "correct the market". Some of it is reminiscent of China's ban of digital currencies for use in the "real world" way back in 2009 -- especially Tencent's.
