Starting point is 00:00:00 This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. Can we trust AI? Singularity Net and Privado ID say yes with new registry. By Ashan Pandey. Why should we trust AI agents? You're chatting with a virtual assistant, relying on an autonomous vehicle, or entrusting an AI to handle sensitive data. Artificial intelligence is weaving itself into the fabric of our daily lives, but a nagging question lingers. How do we know these systems airsafe, data. Artificial intelligence is weaving itself into the fabric of our daily lives, but a nagging question lingers. How do we know these systems are safe, reliable, and worthy of our trust? Singularity Net and Privado ID announced a groundbreaking partnership to tackle this challenge head-on. Together, they're relaunching the world's first decentralized AI
Starting point is 00:00:40 agent trust registry, a game-changer aimed at embedding trust and transparency into the rapidly evolving world of decentralized AI. A trust revolution in the making. At its core, this collaboration between SingularityNet, a key player in the artificial superintelligence ASEE alliance, and PrivadoID, formerly PolygonID, is about creating a system where AI agents come with a verifiable ID card. Through this AI agent trust registry, every AI agent will have decentralized identifiers, DIDs, and credentials that confirm critical details, who created it, what model it's built on, and whether it's been audited for safety and fairness. Imagine a world where you can peek under the hood of an AI before interacting with it, knowing it's not a black box, but a trusted partner.
Starting point is 00:01:27 This isn't just a tech upgrade, it's a leap toward a safer AI ecosystem. By blending Privato ID's privacy-first identity technology with SingularityNet's AI prowess, the registry will empower users and other AI agents to engage with confidence. Whether it's a human checking an AI's credentials or one AI vetting another in an agent-to-agent economy, this system promises transparency without compromising privacy, thanks to cutting-edge zero-knowledge proofs. Voices of Vision, Dr. Ben Gortzel, CEO of both Aussie and SingularityNet, sees this as a defining moment. Our future won't be defined solely by how AI communicates with
Starting point is 00:02:05 humans, but by how AI systems interact seamlessly among themselves, he said. Greater than by integrating Pravado ID's decentralized, privacy-first credentials into greater-than-a-see. Create, we're not just ensuring trust. We're paving the way for a robust, greater-than-autonomous network of AI agents. Sebastian Rodriguez, CPO of Privado ID and former VP of Product at Polygon, shares the excitement. This collaboration addresses the essential need for verifiable identities in the agent-to-agent economy, he noted. Greater-than-assigning unique, verifiable identities to AI agents ensures accountability greater-than-entrust in their interactions and aligns with the Aussie innovation stack's greater-than-vision of an open ecosystem by promoting interoperability and reducing greater-than-reliance on centralized authorities.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Rolling out trust, step-by-step the AI agent trust registry won't launch overnight, it's a carefully phased journey to ensure it's rock-solid. 1. Pilot Phase The first step kicks off with integrating privado ID credentials into the AIRIS AI agent, laying the groundwork for secure identity verification. 2. Scalable registry. Next, the system scales up, validating complex traits like authenticity and safety using privacy-preserving zero-knowledge proofs. 3. Self-governance exploration. The long-term vision? Exploring how AI agents might govern themselves, pushing the boundaries of
Starting point is 00:03:31 autonomy in a decentralized world. Backslash dot. This initiative is already underway, and the teams at SingularityNet, Aussie, and PrivatoID promise regular updates as they hit key milestones. It's a phased approach designed to balance robust verification with complete data privacy, setting a strong foundation for the future. Powering the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance. This partnership is more than a standalone project. It's a cornerstone of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, a powerhouse collective that includes SingularityNet, Fetch, I, Ocean Protocol, and Kudos. Together, they're racing toward Decentralized Artificial General Intelligence, AGI, and, ultimately, Artificial Superintelligence, ASE. By building a trustworthy
Starting point is 00:04:18 AI network, this registry supports their mission to create an ecosystem where human and machine intelligences can coexist and thrive. Who's behind the magic? SingularityNet. Founded by Dr. Ben Gortzel, SingularityNet is on a mission to craft a decentralized, inclusive AGI that's open to all, not tethered to any single corporation or country. With a team of top-tier engineers, scientists, and specialists in fields like robotics and biomedical AI, they're pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Learn more. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance. This alliance unites Fetch. I, SingularityNet, Ocean Protocol, and Kudos as the largest open-source force in decentralized AI research. Their goal? Accelerate AGI and OS OC for a smarter, decentralized future.

Using zero-knowledge proofs and W3C standards, it lets users control their data securely across blockchain ecosystems. Learn more, a future we can trust. The Singularity Net Privado ID partnership is a bold step toward a world where AI isn't just powerful, it's accountable. By giving AI agents verifiable credentials, this registry ensures they're used responsibly and ethically, transforming digital trust from a buzzword into a reality. As this project unfolds, it's set to redefine how we interact with AI, creating a resilient, interoperable network for the next era of intelligence.
