Polkabot.AI Pioneers Verifiable Internet for AI, Revolutionizing Knowledge Dissemination

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked a new knowledge revolution, comparable to the invention of the printing press or the world wide web. However, AI also presents challenges such as hallucinations, bias, and mishandling of intellectual property rights. To address these issues, OriginTrail proposes a Verifiable Internet for AI, which decentralizes knowledge used by AI systems. Polkabot.AI, a Decentralized AI education hub on Polkadot, is a pioneering implementation of this approach. Instead of relying solely on generative AI, Polkabot uses a novel decentralized Retrieval Augmented Generation (dRAG) approach leveraging OriginTrail's Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG). This ensures information provenance, respect for data ownership, and allows users to verify sources and issuers used in responses.

The Dawn of the Verifiable Internet for AI: Polkabot.AI Revolutionizes Knowledge Dissemination

Ljubljana, Slovenia - April 29th, 2024

The meteoric rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has ushered in an era of unprecedented technological advancement, akin to the transformative impact of the printing press or the inception of the World Wide Web. However, alongside its remarkable potential, AI has also presented challenges, including concerns over misinformation, bias, intellectual property rights violations, and potential model collapses. To address these challenges and harness the full potential of AI, OriginTrail proposes the concept of a Verifiable Internet for AI, effectively decentralizing the knowledge upon which AI systems rely.

Polkabot.AI: A Decentralized AI Education Hub

One of the pioneering manifestations of this approach is Polkabot.AI, a decentralized AI education hub built on the Polkadot blockchain. Backed by the Polkadot Treasury, Polkabot.AI is set to revolutionize how individuals interact with and learn about the Polkadot ecosystem, catering to both beginners and seasoned users alike.

Spearheaded by Trace Alliance, a collaborative hub fostering partnerships for the creation and utilization of trusted knowledge in the AI era, Polkabot.AI embodies the vision of decentralized AI. It empowers the broader Polkadot community to contribute to a trusted knowledge base, which Polkabot's AI system harnesses to generate informed responses.

Decentralized Retrieval Augmented Generation (dRAG)

Unlike solutions solely dependent on generative AI, Polkabot.AI employs a novel approach known as Decentralized Retrieval Augmented Generation (dRAG). This approach leverages the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) to supplement AI-generated responses with trusted inputs.

Instead of relying solely on AI to produce responses, Polkabot.AI utilizes AI to construct responses using verified information sourced from the DKG, which is populated by the collective contributions of the Polkadot community. This process ensures information provenance, respects data ownership, and enables users to verify the sources and issuers of each response component.

Continuous Knowledge Expansion

The trusted knowledge accessed by Polkabot.AI's AI systems is continuously augmented through a community-driven process of knowledge curation and publication known as knowledge mining. This collaborative approach ensures the ongoing expansion of the knowledge base upon which the AI operates.

Polkabot.AI: A Significant Leap Forward

The Polkabot.AI initiative received overwhelming support through an OpenGov treasury proposal, approved on April 23, 2024. As an AI-powered educational platform that tailors learning experiences to individual users, PolkaBot.AI represents a significant leap forward in how we access and interact with Polkadot's diverse content. Users can now access reliable knowledge and obtain precise responses, both within the ecosystem and in outward communications.

OriginTrail: Building the Verifiable Internet for AI

OriginTrail is the driving force behind the Verifiable Internet for AI, a transformative concept aimed at combating the spread of misinformation exacerbated by AI adoption. By enabling the verifiable tracking of information origins, OriginTrail ensures the trustworthiness of knowledge, promoting discoverability and integrity for reliable AI systems.

Initially deployed in global supply chains to facilitate trusted data sharing, OriginTrail has expanded its scope to encompass the creation of a trusted AI knowledge ecosystem. It enhances the discoverability of essential knowledge and verifies information provenance, addressing a critical need in the era of misinformation.

Global Collaborations and Impact

OriginTrail's technology has gained significant traction across various sectors, including asset tokenization, construction, healthcare, and the metaverse, where the authentication and security of information are paramount. Supported by world-renowned organizations such as the British Standards Institution, SCAN, Polkadot, and Walmart, OriginTrail is actively expanding its trusted knowledge network. These partnerships extend its impact across multiple industries, underscoring its vital role in advancing a verifiable knowledge web and supporting the economy of real-world assets (RWAs).
