Building AI’s Collective Memory: The Transformative Power of OriginTrail V8 DKG

This episode of On TRAC(k) dives into the transformative launch of the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) V8, a collective memory for AI agents and an updated roadmap. Join OriginTrail’s founders, Žiga, Tomaž, and Branimir, as they explore how the DKG empowers neuro-symbolic AI by merging symbolic AI’s precision with the power of decentralization to ensure data integrity, provenance, and user control.
Discover how the DKG supports AI agents in verifying and accessing diverse data sources while remaining compatible with existing standards and tools like ElizaOS. The discussion also touches on the role of decentralized AI in shaping a future where AI acts as "the" interface for innovation, converging AI, the Internet, and crypto.
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.
