TL;DR
-
The Dfinity Basis and SingularityNET wish to cease tech giants from having a monopoly on AGI and are utilizing blockchain tech to take action.
-
They goal to appreciate that purpose by first promoting entry to AI coaching knowledge by way of the ICP blockchain, so that every one superior/privately owned AI fashions will depend on a variety of information, from a variety of suppliers, scattered across the globe…
-
Whereas this all sounds nice on paper…we don’t know whether or not or not it is going to work in follow.
Full Story
From 1990 till in the present day, we have seen a handful of tech duopolies develop to manage complete sectors of the web:
-
Google & Bing personal search
-
Meta & TikTok personal social media
-
Amazon & Walmart personal on-line procuring
-
Google & Apple personal our cellular working programs
Which ain’t nice so far as ‘pushing innovation ahead’ goes…however a minimum of these duopolies do not pose a civilizational risk, like synthetic normal intelligence (AGI) does.
And that is one thing the Dfinity Basis and SingularityNET wish to defend in opposition to.
Not the specter of AGI ‘going all SkyNet’ and killing us all (see gif ☝️), however to guard in opposition to the hazard of AGI being owned by a single firm/entity.
(As a result of that is an excessive amount of energy for anybody to personal/wield alone).
Their answer?
Take advantage of superior AI programs on the planet out there to anybody, anyplace by way of decentralized networks, in order that these programs aren’t owned by a single tech firm.
They goal to appreciate that purpose by first promoting entry to AI coaching knowledge by way of the ICP blockchain, so that every one superior/privately owned AI fashions will depend on a variety of information, from a variety of suppliers, scattered across the globe…
In idea, by fragmenting the possession of the information that powers these fashions throughout a number of entities and making all of it publicly accessible, AGI monopolies ought to be a lot more durable to kind.
We have now to be sincere although:
Whereas this all sounds nice on paper…we don’t know whether or not or not it is going to work in follow.
