Innovators and developers in Web3, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet will come together at the Decentralized Knowledge Graph Conference (DKGcon) 2024, scheduled for October 24 and 25 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. As generative AI (genAI) technologies become more integrated into both business frameworks and daily life, the demand for trustworthy, verifiable, and sustainable AI solutions has become clear. This year’s second iteration of DKGcon, titled AI Meets Reliability, will focus on fostering trust in AI through decentralized Web3 technologies, such as blockchain, as well as knowledge graphs, a technology that has, until recently, been primarily utilized by major Internet players like Amazon, Google, and Facebook.

Connect with pioneers in the Internet, Web3, and AI
Under the auspices of the open-source OriginTrail ecosystem, DKGcon will convene the foremost global experts exploring the crossroads of the Internet, blockchain, large language models (LLMs), and knowledge graphs. They will engage in discussions and demonstrations on utilizing these technologies to forge the verifiable Internet for AI—an Internet where users can benefit from AI advancements while addressing current AI issues, such as hallucinations, biases, data privacy, and ownership, and even model collapse.
Leading global experts focused on the convergence of the Internet, blockchain, large language models (LLMs), and knowledge graphs are set to speak at DKGcon 2024.
Confirmed speakers at the conference include:
– Internet pioneer and Ethernet inventor Dr. Bob Metcalfe,
– Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, a key figure in popularizing the term artificial general intelligence (AGI),
– Gary Marcus, cognitive scientist, neuro-symbolic AI expert, bestselling author, and a prominent AI thought leader,
– Branimir Rakić, the founder and CTO of OriginTrail and the principal architect behind the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG).
The blending of blockchain, AI, and the Internet for enhanced reliability and verifiability in AI solutions
The fusion of blockchain, AI, and Internet technologies represents a groundbreaking initiative aimed at enhancing the safety and reliability of AI systems, and it is already yielding promising outcomes. At DKGcon, both developers and users of these technologies will illustrate and debate the transformative effects on various sectors including supply chains, creative industries, startup ecosystems, scientific research, online networking, and even virtual metaverse environments.
Participants will gain insights from leading organizations like Google, Microsoft, AWS, the British Standards Institution (BSI), GS1, and McGill University, as well as from innovators at emerging companies such as Trace Labs – Origintrail Core Developers, the Web3 Foundation, ID Theory, Theta Labs, CanvasLand Technology, Skyocean, Lunar Crush, Datalatte, among others. Practical workshops on October 25 will provide attendees the chance to learn about building and utilizing the open-source OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG).
