SingularityNET and Filecoin partner for AI and DePIN

SingularityNET, an artificial intelligence platform developer, and the Filecoin Foundation, the governance body behind the Filecoin network, have announced a collaborative partnership.

The partnership aims to integrate the AI and decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) industries while maintaining decentralization, AI ethics and data provenance.

According to an official press release shared with Cointelegraph, the partnership will also establish an AI ethics working group to ensure that AI development and deployment adhere to ethical practices.

In a written QA with Cointelegraph, Ben Goertzel, founder and CEO of SingularityNET and co-founder of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, stated:

“AI ethics has many aspects, including minimizing unhealthy biases in AI models, directing use of AI toward beneficial applications, minimizing odds of adverse outcomes from breakthroughs to superintelligence and others.”

Collaboration objectives

The collaboration has several objectives across differing timelines, some of which are short-term, such as SingularityNET’s use of Filecoin’s Lighthouse SDK for metadata storage.

Mid-term goals include integrating Filecoin’s technology stack into SingularityNET to improve security and support the infrastructure of AI-generated data storage.

In the long term, the partnership aims to use Filecoin to manage Knowledge Graphs, an element essential to SingularityNET’s Knowledge Layer initiative.

On the topic of the partnership, Goertzel confirmed that both the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) token and the Filecoin ( FIL ) token would be used. When questioned if Filecoin would join the ASI, he said:

“In the world of crypto, anything is possible, but there is no specific announcement we want to make in that regard right now.”

DePIN developments

The Filecoin network, supported by the Filecoin Foundation in governance, funding and growth, is ultimately a DePIN project designed particularly for cloud storage.

Filecoin’s decentralized storage system will receive AI service integration from SingularityNET and vice versa to create interoperable and synergistic ecosystems for both firms.

The partnership aims to expand upon DePINs’ benefits by demonstrating their real-world applications and potential industry implications.

One step for AI, two steps for AGI

SingularityNET, Fetch.ai and Ocean Protocol are part of the ASI token merger.

Despite the merger’s delay, Goertzel told Cointelegraph in an interview that  superhuman superintelligence is “just a few years” away .

In the interview, Goertzel explained that the long-term objective was to create superintelligence “on a decentralized infrastructure.”

After unifying with its two fellow AI development companies, SingularityNET continues to expand its collaborative goals with its latest partnership with the Filecoin Foundation.
