WHAT IS DECENTRALIZED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

Blockchain technology and research in Artificial Intelligence are two of the most burning topics in today’s world. So, what if we combine them. This is the new big thing in the data world. The decentralized artificial intelligence serves the perfect purpose of securing data for providing services.AI and its subsets are of great importance, and research is going on to make software to make human-like decisions and derive results more efficiently. Machine learning, AI is not that new, it has been around for quite some time. How we basically use it is we feed data, we expect the AI to understand the math and define a function between the input and output, and then we expect the AI to produce results.

But, until now we have been using AI in a low level and centralized manner. For example, let’s consider uber, when a person tries to book a ride the algorithm in the application scans what rides are available and arranges them according to which is the nearest. This is software deciding what’s best for a given position. The person if were to take the service is meant to pay the service provider (in this case the driver) as well as the third party (in this case uber).



What if we were to eliminate the third party… the consumers would be required to pay less, and the service providers will get more payment. What if the application that provides the service was not owned by a centralized tech giant but by all the people involved, this is where the blockchain technology comes to aid. A blockchain ledger of transactions will be edited by potential miners and new blocks will be connected.

 

Why do we need DAI?

This combination of Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence can revolutionize the WEB2.0 and keep our data to ourselves which we were giving away for services. The decentralization term currently in use with crypto does not have a single governing body, except there are many people involved called miners who check every transaction, edit the blockchain, and get rewarded for the same. The blockchain has been around for a decade and no one can modify it. From an estimation more computing power than the 500 fastest supercomputers is required to break a blockchain and hack the transactions, the data thus remains safe. The primary focus of a decentralized system is to create a more data-secure environment by eliminating third parties.

The decentralization of AI can form an invariable data system which is believed to be the foundation for what is being termed as AGI the artificial general intelligence. AGI is a subject of interest to many labs around the world including Google and Facebook, which would eventually be close enough to ASI or Artificial Super Intelligence.

 



 

Looking individually the two of them serve different purposes.

AI is probabilistic, it gives a likelihood of the outcome whereas blockchains are predestined, here the outcome is known.

AI is evolving, changing, and progressing. Blockchain on the other hand is permanent, no one can modify it because of the proof of work algorithm.

AI algorithms take a guess at a reality where cryptography algorithms record the transactions and bind them in a ledger.

In the future, they go hand in hand doing what each is good at.

 

Composition of Decentralized AI

Cryptography has seen many substantial subsets which helps the cause of creating the DAI ecosystem. There are a few techniques for the distribution and confidentiality of data.

1.       Homomorphic Encryption: Homomorphism being one of the best technological advances in the cryptography world allows the execution of specific types of computations to be done in the ciphertext and provides results that are also encrypted in the ciphertext.

2.       GAN Cryptography: This model is backed by Google and was properly established by the end of 2016. With adversarial neural cryptography, the confidentiality of datasets is ensured, and data can be exchanged among different parties by maintaining high levels of privacy

3.       Secured Multi-Party Computations (SMPC): This security technique ensures that computation of a public function based on private data while keeping the inputs secret.

 

Potential of Decentralized artificial intelligence in the future technology industry.

A decentralized computing model like blockchain is combined with AI, the best of both can be leveraged for a scale of resources. DAI is a model that allows the processing process to be isolated without the disadvantage of the data being shared. It allows users to process information independently. By doing so, one can achieve different results and then analyze the knowledge, creating new and better solutions which will not be the case with a centralized AI system.

Altogether, it will allow devices to overcome adversity through real-world challenges, by reasoning, and through trial and error while having the results recorded. Thus, the DAI model is believed to have incredible potential across business, science and collectively people.



However, there can be one downside to this, what we see below are art pieces created by AI models.




Dope right!!

There are many more pieces where the artificial intelligence really shows up to humans. These art works are auctioned too. Now, imagine a free AI with no centralized governing body making and auctioning off paintings for instance, we cannot interfere in its transactions due to blockchain principles. So, how do we counter it? That is a question that will trouble the developer's community for a while.

But it’s our responsibility to build systems for the good of humanity. We need to educate ourselves and be as familiar as possible with the functioning of DAI in order to prevent any malpractices, now or in the future.

Managing Radioactive Waste: Modern Solutions and Innovations

Image
  Modern Solutions for Radioactive Waste Nuclear energy has been one of the few advances we have made to lower our carbon footprint. Nuclear is the world's second largest source of low-carbon power (26% of the total in 2020). Even though nuclear energy is one of the most efficient ways of producing energy, it has been well opposed by many due to the many issues it brings with it, one of them being radioactive waste. Inside nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors and their equipment contain and control the chain reactions, most commonly fueled by uranium-235, to produce heat through fission. The heat warms the reactor’s cooling agent, typically water, to produce steam. The steam is then channeled to spin turbines, activating an electric generator to create low-carbon electricity. During this process, the power plants produce radioactive waste with varying levels of radioactivity which have to be disposed off properly to prevent any mishaps.  This includes its collection and sorting;

WEB 3.0

  Imagine a world where the internet isn't just a place to browse, shop, and share cat videos, but a decentralized network of interconnected platforms and applications that give users control over their data, privacy, and digital identity. This is the vision of Web 3.0, the next evolution of the internet that promises to transform the way we interact with technology and each other. From blockchain-based social networks and peer-to-peer marketplaces to AI-powered chatbots and immersive virtual worlds, Web 3.0 is poised to unlock a new era of innovation, collaboration, and value creation. But what exactly is Web 3.0, and how does it differ from the current web we know? Let's dive in.   HISTORY: WEB 1.0 and WEB 2.0 Web 1.0, also known as the "static web," emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was characterized by simple, static web pages that provided information but didn't allow for much interactivity or user participation. Websites were largely created and

TECHNOLOGY IN SPORTS: CRICKET

Image
  TECHNOLOGY IN SPORTS: CRICKET So as we are approaching the ICC worldcup which will be hosted by India this year, let us address one of the very common questions that most people get while watching this sport. How do the umpires use Snicko and Hotspot? SNICKO: The Snickometer, more commonly called the Snicko, or as we call it, the Ultra-edge, is used to check whether the ball has edged the bat or glove in some way, during the judgement of dismissals of Leg Before Wicket, or Caught behind.  The Snickometer was invented by English computer scientist Allan Plaskett in the mid-1990s. The snickometer was introduced by Channel 4 in the UK, who also introduced the Hawk-Eye and the Red Zone, in 1999.  So how does this work?  The Snickometer uses a very sensitive mic attached to the stumps which is connected to an oscilloscope that measures the sound waves. The mic captures the sound at the moment when the ball nicks the bat. The sound is amplified and filtered out to certain frequencies using
