Explore the intersection of AI and blockchain through the lens of Zero Knowledge (ZK) proofs and their potential to transform both fields. This session will explain how ZK technologies like Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), Multi-Party Computation (MPC), hardware enclaves, chain abstraction, and elliptic curves help ensure secure and trusted computation.
We will discuss the current race to create efficient systems with low proving overhead, inspired by the rise of blockchain technology. Initially aimed at improving scaling and cost, these advancements now have the potential to revolutionize traditional cloud services, ushering in the Web3 global cloud era. This new era envisions a world where everyone can provide compute power and be fairly compensated instantly.
This talk will cover the need for verified computation, the current state of ZK technology, and future prospects, all in accessible language without complex mathematics. Learn how the speaker’s winning idea at the Near 2023 hackathon is contributing to this exciting field. Join us to understand how ZK proofs can make AI more decentralized, secure, and accessible for everyone.
