AIG teams with IBM to use blockchain for ‘smart’ insurance policy<\/strong><\/a> — from reuters.com by Suzanne Barlyn<\/p>\n

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Insurer American International Group Inc has partnered with International Business Machines Corp to develop a “smart” insurance policy that uses blockchain to manage complex international coverage, the companies said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

AIG and IBM completed a pilot of a so-called “smart contract” multi-national policy for Standard Chartered Bank PLC which the companies said is the first of its kind<\/em> using blockchain’s digital ledger technology.<\/strong><\/span>
\n…
\nIBM has been partnering with leading companies in various industries, including Danish transport company Maersk, to create blockchain-based products that can streamline complex international dealings across sectors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blockchain technology, which powers the digital currency bitcoin, enables data sharing across a network of individual computers. It has gained worldwide popularity due to its usefulness in recording and keeping track of assets or transactions across all industries.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\nWhy post this item? Because IBM and others are experimenting with and investing millions into blockchain-based technologies; and because the manner in which credentials are stored and recognized will most likely be significantly impacted by blockchain-based technologies. Earlier this year at the Next <\/em><\/span>Generation Learning Spaces Conference<\/em> in San Diego, I mentioned that this topic of blockchain-based technologies is something that should be on our radars within higher education.<\/span><\/p>\n
