AI
Federated AI
Data eXchange
AI Marketplace
AI in Blockchain

3. FEDERATED AI
• Subset of devices selected,
each downloads the model
• Train model with local data
• Model updates – gradients –
sent back to server
• Server aggregates

5. WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN?
• An Immutable record of digital
events shared peer to peer
between different parties
• Distributed Ledger
• Open +Trust + Secure
• Replaces MIDDLEMAN
• Smart Contracts  DApps,
DAOs

8. DATA EXCHANGE
• Blockchain for Data Provenance
• User Owned Data
• Time expiry for data
• Ethically Sourced Data
– Transparency
– Fairness
– Privacy

9. AI
MARKETPLACE
• Data Competition each
week
• Encrypted data released
• Crowdsource Data Science
Model
• Data Scientists retain IP –
encrypted models
• Participants paid in Bitcoin
based on accuracy of their
guesses, payouts to top 60
• Originality paid extra

10. AI IN
BLOCKCHAIN
• Hypersmart Contracts using
AI
• Data stored on Blockchain
• Activates AI algos Off-Chain
• Use Cases: Reverse auction
in Supply Chain, Demand
Forecasting….

LEARNING?
• AI Neural Networks
composed of many layers
• Learn like humans
• Automated Feature Learning
• Layers are like Image Filters
