SingularityNET has partnered with the Mina Foundation, a nonprofit organization responsible for the privacy-focused Mina Protocol, to advance decentralized AI through zero-knowledge (ZK) technology.
The partnership aims to create innovative solutions prioritizing user privacy and data protection by utilizing both platforms to develop secure, decentralized artificial general intelligence (AGI) applications.
The partnership focuses on the exploration of decision-making AI agents and the enhancement of the Internet of Knowledge initiative, a decentralized ecosystem for secure, collaborative AI knowledge sharing.
The collaboration strives to resolve critical obstacles in AI and blockchain by promoting enhanced innovation in scaling solutions while ensuring user privacy.
Information regarding the partnership
The collaboration revolves around integrating SingularityNET’s AI infrastructure with Mina Protocol’s ZK Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge (zk-SNARK) technology, a trustless cryptographic proof system.
ZK-proofs enable the verification of information without disclosing the underlying data, including financial details, sensitive user data, and other private information.
The integration’s objective is to establish a secure knowledge layer that enables AI agents to operate efficiently without compromising user data and to allow the development of AGI-powered tools that maintain data integrity and confidentiality.
Implications for developers
The companies intend to provide developers with a new generation of decentralized applications by utilizing tools such as personalized governance systems and decision-making AI agents.
Designed to function within decentralized frameworks, these AI agents have the potential to enhance community-driven decision-making processes.
This integration can potentially establish a more inclusive and accessible AI ecosystem that enables identity providers and AI agents to collaborate securely and privately by integrating Mina’s privacy-preserving protocols with SingularityNET’s Internet of Knowledge initiative.
SingularityNET CEO asserts decentralized AI will “save us all”
The integration of AI in the daily lives of the average consumer is on the rise worldwide following the release of the iPhone 16, which Apple claimed was optimized for AI use.
On episode 46 of The Agenda podcast, Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET and the ASI Alliance stated that the advancement of AGI has the potential to “eliminate material scarcity in the context of everyday human life.”
Goertzel emphasized the necessity of “decentralizing all these processes” for the “good of humanity,” recognizing that potent AGI technology is not without risk.
