A couple of weeks back, I was interacting with few operations executives from health insurance, auto insurance and specialty insurance companies. It was a nice cozy evening and the discussion topic was the new buzzword in town “Robotic Process Automation” aka RPA. People have different names to it also – Intelligent Automation, Bot Automation and probably few less known ones.

The University of Melbourne is to join forces with Learning Machine, a US-based company associated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab, to pilot a blockchain based micro-credentialing system. It will enable employers to verify those credentials quickly.
