Session 2: The Future of AI is Decentralized
We are at the nexus of two major developments: AI and blockchain. Bitcoin is the most powerful compute network in the world, while algorithms like DALL-E 2 and GPT-3 have demonstrated the impressive capabilities of state-of-the-art AI. The AI industry, however, is flawed: each training run is incredibly power and cost-intensive, while development remains isolated within institutional labs. Beyond pure inefficiency, these issues perpetuate inequity and prevent collaboration.
So, what if we could take the power, scalability, and resource-management of blockchain and apply it to building the next generation of AI? In this talk, you will learn how Bittensor is doing exactly that.
Bittensor is a distributed neural network that leverages the power of incentivized computing to create an AI system at Bitcoin-scale. Within the - currently 125 billion parameter - network, AI models learn from each other by sending signals peer-to-peer, while being rewarded for the production of valuable knowledge. The result is a pure intelligence market that connects engineers and compute.
Ultimately, Bittensor aims to be the primary source of unsupervised knowledge for the next generation of machine learning companies, acting as a global protocol rather than a single, centralized, entity.
Speaker Bio:
Matt Hamilton is a developer and developer advocate that has been interested in the democratising effects of blockchains and AI for many years. Previously he has worked at IBM as a Developer Advocate working on IBM Cloud and AI products; and at Ripple where he was helping developers build on the XRP Ledger. Currently, he is the Director of Developer Relations at Bittensor. Matt is a big believer in "learning in public", and is a regular Twitch streamer, where he has live-coded everything from algorithmic trading bots to machine learning examples to an NFT raffle dapp. Originally from the UK, Matt now lives in Barbados where he spends a lot of time paddleboarding in the sea with his dog and snorkelling for the phone he dropped in the sea a few months ago.
Session 3: IPFS Everywhere
Building the foundations of Web3 in an HTTP world is not easy, but great progress has been made. Learn where you can use IPFS today and where we're pushing to make it available for the Web3 developers of tomorrow.
Speaker Bio:
Dietrich Ayala is committed to making a web that puts users in control of their experience online. He leads ecosystem development for IPFS at Protocol Labs, growing adoption of the protocol through developer experience, browser integrations and strategic collaborations. Before Protocol Labs, he spent over a decade at Mozilla building browsers, shipping a smartphone OS and running programs to scale devrel globally.
