Abstract

Impact investing, which aims to create social or environmental impact while generating financial returns, can be accelerated using artificial intelligence and blockchain. These tools enable better data collection, analysis, and utilization, as well as greater transparency and traceability of transactions. The benefits of these technologies for investors, businesses, and society, are numerous. They can contribute to poverty eradication by enabling more efficient resource distribution and facilitating access to financial services for disadvantaged populations. However, it is important to note the limitations of these technologies, such as the need for quality data and the need to prevent biases in AI. Overall, the AI-empowered blockchain model for impact investing acceleration is a promising approach to improving the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of impact investing. Ultimately, an ethical and responsible use of AI and blockchain can help accelerate the impact of investing and improve the lives of the most vulnerable people in the world.
