The blockchain applied to “smart homes”

According to a report by the University of Washington in 2017, more than 40 million U.S. “smart homes” have devices such as voice assistants. The review provides that the number doubles by 2021.
Rachel Wolfson on Forbes writes that this phenomenon requires a reflection about the privacy regarding the data recording and storing the cloud. Many companies claim to protect the personal data of users through a “privacy trust”, based on the faith of users in the cancellation of information by companies.
To solve this issue, companies are launching platforms that use blockchain, cryptography and Artificial Intelligence. These tools are fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Instead of storing user data in the cloud, they process all information on the device, ensuring that personal information remains within the walls of connected homes.
