Digital currencies like Bitcoin are only for crypto-anarchists, currency speculators and dark web drug dealers, right? So why should you care about the technology that powers these cryptocurrenices? What relevance does blockchain, or distributed ledger systems, have on other, more traditional, industries?

Artificial intelligence is a fairly broad area of study in computer science and machine learning is already powering software you are using everyday. Services like Google and Facebook photos, voice assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Home, recommendation systems from Amazon and Netflix just to name a few. You can expect to see more and more applications leveraging this powerful technology.
