Blockchain and AI are arguably the hottest properties in the technology industry today.  

The Blockchain market is forecast to expand from a value of $210 million in 2016 to over $2.3 billion by 2021, according to Statista, while Adobe has found that the share of jobs requiring AI has increased 450% since 2013.
