Matrix and bitgrit signed a strategic cooperation agreement covering data sharing, technical innovation, and developer partnerships. bitgrit’s large existing database and high-quality data scientist community will promote Matrix AI Network applications and aid in the training of Matrix’s AI algorithms. In turn, Matrix’s AI Network’s AI models and distributed computing infrastructure will increase the breadth and depth of bitgrit’s platform. In terms of expanding the developer community, Matrix and bitgrit will focus on building shared communities in China, Japan and Southeast Asia. Both Matrix and bitgrit believe that through mutual effort, a future of practical, fair and transparent applications leveraging big data, AI and blockchain technology is within reach.

2% turnover growth was detected during the pilot in 220 shops and 50 product categories. The event was held as the pre-announcement of Dixy and OSA HP partnership moving to the next stage — massive rollout in more than 2550 shops of Dixy chain. Dixy is enlarging its size up to 12000 stores in 2019! Turnover growth of 2–4% leads to profit growth of 5–10%, according to Dixy. The retail chain, that reported 14,582,00 USD profit last year, has an ambition of becoming the most technologically advanced retail operator in Russia. The forum allowed to show in detail the unlimited possibilities of the service to ensure the availability of goods on the shelf and to sign a number of agreements on cooperation and interaction in the field of technological development of retail in Russia based on Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain, estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Decentralized Machine Learningis now working on the pilot rest run on the first version of LifeSyn.
LifeSyn is a lifestyle data hub, it contains a concatenate insight of data, integrated in the dashboard on a mobile app. With various mobile API integration, for example, Fitbit, Garmin, Strava, Apple Health, Google Fit, Instagram, Twitter, RescueTime etc., combined with the data stored natively in the smartphone (the untapped data) such as locations, photos and calendar, one can seamlessly view their health, workout and also lifestyle habits.
The backend of LifeSyn mobile app will be supported by DML existing blockchain infrastructure developed by their tech team. App users can specifically allow and revoke access of various types of data in LifeSyn. For instance, they can freely share to LifeSyn their location data on Day 1, and then remove this sharing on Day 10. All of these data permission record will be stored on blockchain, so it has an audit trail on data sharing and usage.
Moreover, DML will also going to integrate the smart contract payment channels and wallets in the mobile app, in their later phase of production. Thus, what they are aiming to is to setup a data/insights transaction platform to connect data owners (app users) and businesses who are interested to purchase these data/insights. This transaction platform will be run securely on the blockchain, according to data owners’ autonomy.
More updates are expected about this project development progress so stay tuned!
