A new decentralised AI ecosystem and its implications - AI News

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/a-new-decentralised-ai-ecosystem-and-its-implications-ai-news/

A new decentralised AI ecosystem and its implications - AI News

.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;

Artificial Intelligence and its associated innovations have revamped the global technological landscape, with recent data released by the US government predicting 13% growth in IT-related opportunities over the next six years – potentially adding 667,600 new jobs to the sector.

Researchers have stated that by 2034, the AI sector’s cumulative valuation may reach $3.6 trillion across industry. The healthcare sector has already integrated AI-based diagnostic tools, with 38% of today’s major medical providers using the technology.

The financial sector is also expecting AI to contribute approximately $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, and the retail industry anticipates anywhere between $400 billion and $660 billion through AI-driven customer experiences annually.

It is estimated that approximately 83% of companies now have AI exploration as an agenda item for continued technical growth, especially given its capacity to drive innovation, enhance efficiency, and create sustainable competitive advantage.

Decentralising AI’s foundations

While AI’s potential is seemingly limitless, its rapid growth has brought a challenge – the centralisation of AI development and data management.

As AI systems become more sophisticated, risks like dataset manipulation, biased training models, and opaque decision-making processes threaten to undermine their potential.

Different blockchain tech providers have taken steps to decentralise the sector, offering infrastructure frameworks that change how AI systems are developed, trained, and deployed.

Space and Time (SXT) has devised a verifiable database that aims to bridge the gap between disparate areas, providing users with transparent, secure development tools that mean AI agents can execute transactions with greater levels data integrity.

The platform’s innovation lies in its ability to provide contextual data which AI agents can use for executing trades and purchases in ways that end-users can validate.

Another project of note is Chromia. It takes a similar approach, with a focus on creating a decentralised architecture to handle complex, data-intensive AI applications. Speaking about the platform’s capabilities, Yeou Jie Goh, Head of Business Development at Chromia, said:

“Our relational blockchain is specifically designed to support AI applications, performing hundreds of read-write operations per transaction and indexing data in real-time. We’re not just building a blockchain; we’re creating the infrastructure for the next generation of AI development.”

Chromia wants to lower the barriers to entry for data scientists and machine learning engineers.

By providing a SQL-based relational blockchain, the platform makes it easier for technical professionals to build and deploy AI applications on decentralised infrastructure. “Our mission is to position Chromia as the transparency layer of Web3, providing a robust backbone for data integrity across applications,” Goh said.

Chromia has already formed partnerships with Elfa AI, Chasm Network, and Stork.

Establishing a roadmap for technological sovereignty

The synergy between AI and blockchain is more than a fad, rather, a reimagining of AI’s infrastructure. Space and Time, for instance, is working to expand its ecosystem in multiple domains, including AI, DeFi, gaming, and decentralised physical infrastructure networks (DePIN).

Its strategy focuses on onboarding developers and building a mainnet that delivers verifiable data to smart contracts and AI agents.

Chromia is ambitious, launching a $20 million Data and AI Ecosystem Fund earlier this year. The project’s ‘Asgard Mainnet Upgrade’ with an ‘Extensions’ feature offers users adaptable application use.

The implications of AI’s shift toward decentralisation is of significant interest to Nate Holiday, CEO of Space and Time. He predicts that blockchain-based transactions associated with AI agents could grow from the current 3% of the market to 30% in the near future. He said:

“Ushering in this inevitable, near-term future is going to require data infrastructure like SXT that provides AI agents with the context that they need to execute trades and purchases in a way that the end user can verify.”

Chromia’s Yeou Jie Goh sees the transition not just as a technological innovation but as a means of creating a more transparent, secure, and democratised technological ecosystem. By using blockchain’s inherent strengths – immutability, transparency, and decentralisation – the two companies are working to create intelligent systems that are powerful, accountable, ethical, and aligned with human values.

According to a memo circulating among State Department staff and reviewed by WIRED, the Trump administration plans to rename the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as US International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA), and to bring it directly under the secretary of state. The document, on which Politico first reported, states that as part of its reorganization, the agency will “leverage blockchain technology” as part of its procurement process.

“All distributions would also be secured and traced via blockchain technology to radically increase security, transparency, and traceability,” the memo reads. “This approach would encourage innovation and efficiency among implementing partners and allow for more flexible and responsive programming focused on tangible impact rather than simply completing activities and inputs.”

The memo does not make clear what specifically this means—if it would encompass doing cash transfers in some kind of cryptocurrency or stablecoin, for example, or simply mean using a blockchain ledger to track aid disbursement.

The memo comes as staffers at USAID are trying to understand their future. The agency was an early target of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has effectively been headed by centibillionaire Elon Musk. Shortly after President Trump’s inauguration, the State Department put the entire agency’s staff on administrative leave, slashed its workforce, and halted a portion of payments to partner organizations around the world, including those doing lifesaving work. Since then a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against the dismantling of the agency, but the memo appears to indicate that the administration has plans to continue its mission of drastically cutting USAID and fully folding it into the State Department.

The plans for the blockchain have also caught staffers off guard.

Few blockchain-based projects have managed to achieve large-scale use in the humanitarian sector. Linda Raftree, a consultant who helps humanitarian organizations adopt new technology, says there’s a reason for that—the incorporation of blockchain technology is often unnecessary.

“It feels like a fake technological solution for a problem that doesn’t exist,” she says. “I don’t think we were ever able to find an instance where people were using blockchain where they couldn’t use existing tools.”

Giulio Coppi, a senior humanitarian officer at the nonprofit Access Now who has researched the use of blockchain in humanitarian work, says that blockchain technologies, while sometimes effective, offer no obvious advantages over other tools organizations could use, such as an existing payments system or another database tool. “There’s no proven advantage that it’s cheaper or better,” he says. “The way it’s been presented is this tech solutionist approach that has been proven over and over again to not have any substantial impact in reality.”

There have been, however, some successful instances of using blockchain technology in the humanitarian sector. In 2022, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) ran a small pilot to give cash assistance to Ukrainians displaced by the Russia-Ukraine war in a stablecoin. Other pilots have been tested in Kenya by the Kenya Red Cross Society. The International Committee of the Red Cross, which works with the Kenya team, also helped to develop the Humanitarian Token Solution (HTS).

One representative from an NGO that uses blockchain technology, but wasn’t authorized to speak to the media with regards to issues relating to USAID, says that particularly with regards to money transfers, stablecoins can be faster and easier than other methods of reaching communities impacted by a disaster. However, “introducing new systems means you’re setting up a new burden” for the many organizations that USAID partners with, they say. “The relative cost of new systems is harder for small NGOs,” which would often include the kind of local organizations that would be at the front line of response to disasters.

The proposed adoption of blockchain technology seems related to an emphasis on exerting tight controls over aid. The memo seems, for example, to propose that funding should be contingent on outcomes, reading, “Tying payment to outcomes and results rather than inputs would ensure taxpayer dollars deliver maximum impact.” A USAID employee, who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to speak to the media, says that many of USAID’s contracts already function this way, with organizations being paid after performing their work. However, that’s not possible in all situations. “Those kinds of agreements are often not flexible enough for the environments we work in,” they say, noting that in conflict or disaster zones, situations can change quickly, meaning that what an organization may be able to do or need to do can fluctuate.

Raftree says this language appears to be misleading, and bolsters claims made by Musk and the administration that USAID was corrupt. “It’s not like USAID was delivering tons of cash to people who hadn’t done things,” she says.

Post Quantum Blockchain: Future of Decentralized Technology

What will become of our decentralized networks when quantum computers can break our most secure cryptographic defenses today? If quantum attacks eat away at digital security, then the security of blockchain systems has never been more crucial. Welcome to the Post Quantum Blockchain universe, an incoming paradigm shift strategy combining the blockchain’s resilience and the post-quantum cryptography’s next-generation security to protect the immortal digital universe.

In this article, we discuss the important part that quantum-resistant blockchain will have to play in protecting decentralized networks from the increasing menace of quantum computing.

Understanding Post-Quantum Blockchain

Post Quantum Blockchain is a blockchain network that is protected by highly advanced, quantum computer-immune cryptographically secured algorithms. RSA or ECC are conventional tools used for encryption, which would become sitting ducks against attacks from quantum algorithms like Shor’s, which will compromise their integrity. It poses a humongous risk to decentralized networks operating on such algorithms for data assurance, identity authentication, and secured transactions.

With the integration of quantum-resistant cryptography, these blockchain platforms can provide security and trust in a quantum computer-based future. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is attempting to develop ultimate encryption standards to be the new way of doing it, and hence quantum-secure blockchain deployment becomes an unavoidable evolution.

Why Traditional Blockchains Are Vulnerable

Although blockchain itself is generally considered secure and unalterable, it is not resistant to the increasing threat of quantum computing. Classical blockchains are highly dependent on classical cryptographic methods — namely, public-key cryptography — to protect digital identities, authenticate transactions, and establish consensus among distributed nodes. But with the accelerated advancement of quantum technology, these methods are in serious jeopardy. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer would be able to take advantage of loopholes in such cryptographic schemes to reverse-engineer private keys from public keys, allowing hackers to impersonate the real users. This can result in unauthorized transactions, loss of funds, or even bulk tampering with the blockchain ledger.

Furthermore, quantum computations like Shor’s algorithm can even break the digital signatures that are employed to secure transactions. If such signatures are compromised, they would no longer provide trust in the authenticity or source of a message. Quantum systems would also destabilize consensus systems, which are critical to all participants in a network adhering to a specified state of the blockchain. These findings point to how unprepared systems are at present for a quantum world.

In order to combat these future threats, cryptographers and developers are turning to Post Quantum Blockchain solutions that build on quantum-resistant protocols and algorithms. This next-generation solution can potentially restore trust and security in decentralized systems in the quantum era.

Core Principles Behind Post-Quantum Blockchain

To create a post-quantum blockchain that is resilient, some principles are used-

Lattice-based cryptography: Lattice-based cryptography is a bedrock, since it is quantum proof. Its mathematical complexity is high and it’s computationally not possible even for quantum computers to reverse-engineer encrypted data, thus it’s a very secure way of safeguarding identity and key exchange.

Hash-based signatures: Hash-based signatures constitute another central element. They provide secure short-term digital authentication to maintain messages and transactions tamper-evident. Hash-based signatures work with irrevocable one-way functions for a quantum system, as opposed to classical digital signatures.

Code-based cryptography: Code-based cryptography is also used to ensure a good level of long-term message security. It uses codes that will resist such forms of decryption, whether classical or quantum.

Zero-knowledge proofs: Finally, we have zero-knowledge proofs, which are incorporated to complete the system. Zero-knowledge proofs allow a party to verify possession of knowledge about a condition or value without sharing underlying information. This maintains confidentiality and guarantees immunity from quantum attacks, such that data confidentiality and trust are achieved in decentralized applications.

Advantages of Post-Quantum Blockchain

1. Future-Proof Security

Most readily apparent benefit of Post Quantum Blockchain is that it will resist quantum attacks. Avoiding future attacks ahead of time, the developers will not need to invest the exorbitant expense of redoing systems down the road.

2. More Privacy

New cryptographic building blocks employed by Post Quantum Blockchain can also enhance the protection of privacy through improved anonymization techniques.

3. Compliance with Regulations

As government agencies start to issue post-quantum compliance requirements, employing Quantum Blockchain protocols puts businesses ahead of the law.

4. Long-Term Data Integrity

In contrast to legacy systems that can grow obsolete in the quantum age, Post Quantum Blockchain solutions guarantee your data is immutable and trusted for decades to come.

Real-World Use Cases for Post-Quantum Blockchain

Some industries are starting to consider Post Quantum Blockchain-

Finance: The banking industry, for example, is among the first to embrace. Encryption is a major source of security for online transactions, customer identity, and online balances for banks. With the danger of traditional cryptography from quantum computers, quantum-resistant blockchain guarantees long-term security for banking services, cryptocurrencies, and smart contracts.

Healthcare: Healthcare, where the confidentiality and integrity of patient data are paramount, sees this technology providing tamper-evident storage and transport of sensitive information. Decentralization, and with it the use of quantum-safe encryption, makes for safe sharing of medical records between health providers and shields against leaks and unauthorized alteration.

Supply Chain: The supply chain sector is also discovering the utility of this new solution. Through the utilization of quantum-resistant blockchain, businesses can create open, immutable records of product origin, transport, and handling. It assists in the prevention of fraud, lowers counterfeiting, and increases efficiency in international logistics.

Government: Governments are exploring their use for secure administration of digital identity, citizenship authentication, and even voting. With election security and identity fraud issues on the rise, a tamper-proof, quantum-secure blockchain can provide more public trust and operational integrity to democratic and administrative systems.

The Rise of Post Quantum Secured Blockchain

Post quantum secured blockchain technology is a giant leap towards the security of decentralized platforms against the impending threat of quantum computers. Traditional blockchains, though secure against classical attacks, are becoming increasingly susceptible to quantum algorithms that support breaking standard encryption schemes employed.

Conversely, post quantum secured blockchain networks are inherently constructed with quantum resistance. Every single aspect — identity verification, transaction verification, smart contracts, and consensus algorithms — is supported by cryptographic algorithms particularly selected for their quantum decrypt resistance.

This method guarantees that important activities such as signing a contract, digital signing, and multi-party cooperation on data are secure, transparent, and tamper-evident even in the future when all have quantum processors. With a trend of industries going quantum-readiness, implementing such infrastructure is not an upgrade — it is a required building block.

METHODOLOGY: Ensuring AI Safety Through Post Quantum Blockchain

To truly safeguard AI’s influence on society, data integrity must be prioritized above all. As artificial intelligence systems become more intertwined with human decision-making, preventing malicious replication of identity and the misuse of personal data is crucial. One reliable approach is the integration of Post Quantum Blockchain…

What do you think about a yandere William Foster and Evan Webber?

omggg yess! yandere william foster and evan webber au ♡ ♱ · ! ꒰ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ 𑄽୧ㅤㅤ۪ㅤㅤരㅤㅤ꒱

a biotech scientist and an architect who compartmentalise between their dual identities: the facade of doting loving fathers & husbands and their dark side as sociopathic stalkers .ᐟ

prompt #1:

yandere william foster & evan webber x reader

william, as a biotech scientist & engineer, spends a lot of his time in his private lab doing research (and surveilling you). since he knows a lot about technology, you should already know where this is going...

with his infinite knowledge and wisdom, he'd come up with an idea to create some sort of spying device so he could find more information about you, to which he harvests in a gazillion folders of files on a digital database, protected by a hefty set of blockchains. he'll know your address, where you go work, mode of transport, your name, a photographic memory of your appearance, hell, even down to the nitty gritty of knowing your personal interests. this man is completely obsessed with you, loves you more than his own wife and kids. he will know everything, and you cannot stop him.

evan's your neighbour so you know his advantages are on a all-time high. he stalks you by watching you through his own home: writing notes of things you do routinely, recording you, taking pictures. on his way to work, he stalks you in his car, slowly driving by your house or as you walk into your home. he wants you, he needs you, he has to have you. to everyone, he's the friendly ol' guy who's always willing to lend a helping hand to any advances. but his intentions are far more bleaker than that....

similar to william, he too also keeps the information on a USB, as well his notebooks, storing it away somewhere unknown. he knows every single thing about you and one day, he'll lure you into his home under the false pretence of a special dinner with him as an invite, obviously knowing full well that this will be the last time you'll be seen again.
