The start of 2020 brings a new sense of optimism for blockchain, AI, and the cryptocurrency space. While 2020 is already showing a sense of promise, there is still the emergence of new obstacles and general threats to overcome. Some threats such as the emergence of the Corona virus have affected businesses, stocks, and the daily lives of everyday people. While this has proven to be a setback in many regards, it exists to be yet another obstacle to overcome. Given the delays and challenges the virus may bring, Matrix has always been the one to overcome every obstacle thrown at it. Today the Matrix team is back at work (some in office and some at home) and has a few updates to share with the community in this mini AMA.

Matrix AI Network is a platform which incorporates blockchain and AI to enable the realization of the Intelligent Blockchain.
