Quote from the show:

"Blockchain technology offers elegant solutions to problems of provenance in data and ML models, enabling higher fidelity and trustworthiness. The integration of decentralized blockchain with centralized ML technology presents conflicts, but it is essential for developing better solutions and new economic models. It's about more than just replacing tasks; it's about redefining how we manage and transact value in an increasingly autonomous ecosystem." – Don Gossen
