MIT Decentralized AI Summit Names OriginTrail Best Project

[PRESS RELEASE – Ljubljana, Slovenia, October 17th, 2024]

OriginTrail, the ecosystem dedicated to fostering a safe internet in the AI era through its decentralized knowledge graph, has been awarded the title of best project at the esteemed MIT Decentralized AI Summit. Taking place at the MIT Media Lab, this summit convened leading innovators, researchers, and industry experts to discuss the future of decentralized AI technologies.

The agenda was filled with insights from representatives of major AI companies such as Dell, Intel, NVIDIA, and more. During his presentation, OriginTrail’s founder, Branimir Rakic, detailed how the OriginTrail decentralized knowledge graph, built on Polkadot, provides crucial infrastructure for tackling significant challenges on the internet today, including misinformation, deepfakes, unreliable AI, and fake news. This groundbreaking method for instilling trust in AI distinguished itself among the numerous presentations at the summit, leading to its designation as the best project by the summit’s participants. This recognition emphasizes OriginTrail’s potential influence on the mainstream adoption of both AI and Web3 technologies across various industries, ranging from Real World Assets (RWA) in global supply chains to connecting the insights of organizations and individuals via Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN), and advancing AI model enhancements through federated access to training data.

“We are excited to see OriginTrail advancing in ways that align with the perspectives of many industry leaders identifying as the forefront of innovation. I was particularly enthusiastic about the many speakers emphasizing the importance of deploying AI solutions at the network edge, where sustainable resource use and privacy-preserving data management can be effectively implemented. This is an area OriginTrail has been focusing on for the past year, and we are eager to introduce it next week (Oct 24th) at the DKGcon in Amsterdam with the launch of the DKG Edge node. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to the participants of the event who voted for OriginTrail as the best project of the DecAI Summit; it’s a significant affirmation of our future endeavors.” – Branimir Rakic, Founder at OriginTrail.

As the flaws of contemporary AI solutions become increasingly apparent, the call for reliable AI solutions at the intersection of Web3 and AI intensifies. OriginTrail is committed to leading the way by promoting the widespread adoption of this essential infrastructure to ensure a safe internet in the AI era.
