Cortex is a distributed and autonomous AI system that uses blockchain technologies. Cortex's goal is to include functional models for artificial intelligence. Developers will build these models by smart contracts contained on the Cortex blockchain. Cortex also provides a computer intelligence interface that enables developers to upload activities on the interface and submit decentralized artificial intelligence applications.
By providing AI smart contracts inside its Cortex blockchain, the platform makes it feasible for any developer to employ Cortex to incorporate machine learning to smart contracts. In addition, this will greatly increase the scope for smart contracts and related blockchain ventures. The potential to use AI would make it practical for smart contracts to adapt autonomously to external signals. Cortex also has an reward scheme to promote cooperation. Finally, anybody can send models to Cortex and refine current models. Those that apply to the models will also earn prizes.
