On Trac(k) to Truly Open AI with Dr Bob Metcalfe, Branimir Rakic & Amos Thomas

05/14/24 • 62 min

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.
On TRAC(k) brings you all the latest and juiciest developments from the OriginTrail ecosystem and the Decentralized Knowledge Graph, aka the DKG. On TRAC(k) is presented by OriginTrail and hosted and edited by Jonathan DeYoung.

On Trac(k) to OriginTrail V8 for Based-AI

In June, Apple revealed a suite of highly anticipated AI features — including ChatGPT — that it will soon integrate into its devices. But not everyone was thrilled about the news.
While some observers were excited at the prospect of, for example, drawing math equations on an iPad that could then be solved by AI, billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk called Apple's inclusion of ChatGPT — which is developed by OpenAI, not Apple — an "unacceptable security violation". With this being just the latest in a series of similar news, the enormous amount of untapped private data is clearly the next frontier for AI growth.
With tangible utility in employing both crypto and AI in a plethora of industries, the OriginTrail ecosystem now gets ready for one giant leap forward as they prepare to launch the V8 of the Decentralized Knowledge Graph — a game changer in user-centric, privacy-preserving AI.
V8 will make it possible to use AI privately and seamlessly by anyone, on any device and any chain. The upgraded DKG V8 DePIN brings orders of magnitude higher scalability to ingest billions of user-owned knowledge assets through a vastly simplified user experience, enabling everyone to utilize and monetize their knowledge and AI through the DKG.
