Illia Polosukhin - Building the Blockchain for AI - TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025
Join Illia Polosukhin at TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025 as he delves into the transformative power of blockchain in the ever-evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence. In his talk, "Building the Blockchain for AI," Polosukhin highlights the challenges of current AI developments, such as centralization, data privacy, and sovereignty risks, emphasizing the need for user-owned AI systems to empower individuals and communities over corporate monopolies.
He introduces the concept of a blockchain for AI as a vehicle to facilitate this change, leveraging the Near Protocol's advanced blockchain capabilities. Near’s sharded blockchain structure promises unprecedented scalability and speed, essential for the rapid computations AI demands. With Near’s innovative solutions, including resharding and sharded smart contracts, the infrastructure supports AI assistants as trusted intermediaries, enabling direct and efficient peer-to-peer interactions without the traditional middlemen.
Polosukhin further explores multi-chain interoperability, offering seamless interaction across various blockchain networks, enabling diverse asset management and commerce. This aspect integrates with user-owned AI systems to help facilitate real-world transactions and interactions.
Through partnerships with platforms like Fala, Polosukhin envisions a decentralized machine learning cloud that ensures data privacy and verifiable computations, thus overcoming traditional barriers like data leakage and sovereignty issues. By aligning AI technology with the distributive strength of blockchain, he's paving the way for a new era of user-controlled digital experiences.
