Blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) are two emerging technologies with the potential to contribute to semantic web efforts. Blockchains have been used for applications such decentralized finance in such a way that establishes trust without a central authority. Artificial Intelligence has been used for decision making, requiring vast amounts of data affected by privacy and trust requirements. To address these overlapping themes, the BlockSW workshop is open to submissions at the intersection of blockchain, semantic web and AI.
