This can be realized in the form of an IoT network that runs on a blockchain and makes use of a decentralized mesh network for communication in order to facilitate machine-to-machine (M2M) communication in real time. All this data which is generated as a result of M2M communication can be used in the machine learning process to augment the functionality of Artificially Intelligent DAOs or simple AAs. AAs can act as agents in a Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) environment provided by a blockchain and can learn over time using machine learning processes.

AI is a field of computer science that endeavors to build intelligent agents that can make rational decisions based on the scenarios and environment...
