In the advancing world, a smartphone is an essential tool in our lives as it connects us to the world. When you are holding a smartphone, you are not just holding a piece of technology. Instead, you are holding your link with the world. Artificial intelligence has added the most significant contribution to the advancement of technology. Intelligent applications contain AI, with the help of which they can make predictions and give suggestions.

Positive Aspects Of Intelligent Applications

• With the help of real-time and historical data, intelligent apps can give custom-made solutions to your problems.
• With the help of AL algorithms, they can extract useful information from a pool of data.
• They can be proactive, which means they will act without instruction on your behalf.
• They can get things done without bothering you just like a perfect assistant.

Blockchain is a collection of data. Data is stored in “blocks” and connected in chronological order in the form of a chain. It contains the record of transactions, just like a ledger. Everyone can view this record; however, no one can tamper with it. It not only records economic transactions but everything that has significant importance.

Benefits It Provides

• Information saved in a blockchain is visible to anyone in the world. Thus, the collected data is easy to access.
• Once recording data in a blockchain, no one can change it. Hence, it is impossible to tamper with it.
• You can make, record, and verify transactions.
• It makes the transactional process efficient and effective.
• It does not have a single owner, making it decentralized.
• Since your transaction is recorded in such a defined manner and cannot be changed, it makes the process safe and foolproof.
• You may not require hiring additional employees or purchasing other tools to record your transactions.
• The system has fewer chances of error.

Some Drawbacks
