Verifiable Internet for AI
On Episode 3 of the On TRAC(k) podcast, OriginTrail founders Žiga Drev, Tomaž Levak and Branimir Rakić — alongside host Jonathan DeYoung — discuss their vision for the future of artificial intelligence through the concept of the verifiable internet for AI, leveraging the synergies between crypto, the internet and AI technologies, as presented in OriginTrail’s Whitepaper 3.0.
We introduce the concept of decentralized retrieval-augmented generation (dRAG), an approach that ensures the provenance, integrity and verifiability of information utilized by AI. We also discuss the challenges posed by misinformation, data ownership and bias inherent in AI, by synergizing neural and symbolic AI approaches with Web3 technologies.

On Trac(k) to Truly Open AI with Dr Bob Metcalfe, Branimir Rakic & Amos Thomas
Metcalfe's law is one of the foundational principles of networks, helping explain the explosive growth of technologies such as the internet. For this special episode of the On TRAC(k) podcast, we are joined by Dr. Bob Metcalfe himself, the Turing award winner who invented Ethernet and came up with the namesake law. Together with Amos Thomas, the creator of Tracverse and a prolific DKG educator, and OriginTrail co-founder Branimir Rakic, we come to you live from New York City during the 2024 Knowledge Graph Conference.
A special episode requires special topics, and there is no shortage of those. We dig into what Metcalfe's law is exactly and what it means for the verifiable internet for AI, the significance of having a "truly open" artificial intelligence, and we spotlight some exciting OriginTrail use cases and adoption updates.
