FOR SILICON VALLEY, the headline was sweet nectar: #Google #DeepMind, the world’s hottest artificial intelligence lab, embraces the #blockchain, the endlessly fascinating idea at the heart of the bitcoin digital currency.

If you want AI crossed with the blockchain, try wrapping your head around Numerai, the world’s strangest hedge fund. To DeepMind’s credit, its new project depends less on trendy ideas than an apparent desire to solve a real problem in the real world—one that involves the most private and personal information.
