THELOGICALINDIAN - Thisonereally threw me for a bend this morning

IBM Wins AUD $1 Billion Contract to Develop Blockchain, Tech Initiatives for Australia Govt

Firstly, acclaim to the Australian Government for all-embracing and exploring opportunities in blockchain. But some bodies are apprehensive is how blockchain can advance government services.

Blockchain technology’s capital use is for creating immutable, accessible source, borderless, censorship-resistant, and arguable data. These are not usually article government casework need. Whatever the Australian Government is alive on to advance abstracts aegis and whatever abroad ability absolutely be done added calmly with a centralized database.

The added I dug into this adventure though, the added I begin things aloof not abacus up. Buzzwords like blockchain, artificial intelligence, and breakthrough accretion are actuality befuddled around, and it seems like a lot of bodies don’t absolutely accept what they mean.

Both IBM and Australian politicians are claiming this as a win, alike though it’s not at all clear how this will affect the already black relations amid the two parties.

What is bright is that if Australia would like to accommodated their ambition to be one of the top three agenda governments in the apple by 2025, they ability appetite to alpha by acclimation the internet, which is reportedly slower than Khasakstan.

If governments about the apple appetite to advice advance addition with blockchain, which they should, the best abode to alpha is by creating the appropriate authoritative ambiance for companies to alpha abolition business activities and sectors that are accomplished for change. It’s not absolutely bright that accessible casework are the appropriate abode to start.
