Cortex is a decentralized autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) platform with two goals. The first is to implement a machine-learning platform, called Cortex, which would feature smart AI contracts and allow users to easily add their own smart contracts. The second goal is to provide machine-learning models on the blockchain for users to infer using smart contracts on Cortex’s blockchain.

Pros

Current blockchain contracts are limited to simple contract computations, limiting the application of real-world artificial intelligence (AI). Cortex aims to change this by implementing a machine-learning platform, called Cortex, which would feature smart AI contracts and allow users to easily add their own smart contracts. In addition, it provides machine-learning models on the blockchain for users to infer using smart contracts on Cortex’s blockchain.

Cons

Cortex should have long-term applications in decentralized security camera systems, transactions with self-driving cards, automatic lending through crypto, DNA DApps, and decentralized ads and a content recommendations system. And I feel that its security is not really good
