nChain

Blockchain vs cryptocurrency, one is a tool of utility, and the other is a tool of speculation. Which one is which? In the first edition of our newsletter ‘Innovation Meets Application’, one of our researchers Dr Alec John Burns explains the difference between the two.

🎉 Exciting news! Our research team just demonstrated verifiable inference on Bitcoin, leveraging blockchain technology and cryptography to bring more trustworthiness to AI.   Imagine the approach can prove that: ✅A generative AI model is trained on datasets known to have no bias ✅AI developers can prove that they did not tamper with the training datasets to train an AI model for malicious intentions ✅A piece of artwork comes with a proof showing that it is generated by an AI model on a given prompt ✅As a paid user, you can be sure that you are getting answers from ChatGPT4, not the free versions. This is how we can contribute to verifiable AI.    Please find relevant transactions on the Bitcoin SV mainnet: https://lnkd.in/gAm72Dnr And try it out yourself with tools on our zkScript GitHub: https://lnkd.in/g_iZvaWe   Huge congrats to Hamid Attar, PhD, Luigi Lunardon, Federico Barbacovi, Mathieu Ducroux, WEI ZHANG for making this possible!
