AI and blockchain technologies are on the brink of reshaping entire industries, according to a report from Moody's Investors Service. The study predicts that the combined impact of AI and distributed ledger technologies will have effects "far beyond corporate balance sheets," and could lead to established industries shrinking or disappearing altogether. AI is expected to drive the emergence of new sectors, while distributed ledger technology has already led to the development of cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance. The report also highlights the potential benefits of these technologies, including increased productivity and financial inclusion.
