### Wikipedia



- [Blockchain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain) - "A blockchain is a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography."

- [Artificial Intelligence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence) - "In the field of computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals."

- [Machine Learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning) - "Machine learning (ML) is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to effectively perform a specific task without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead."
