Exploring the convergence of AI and blockchain in the Filecoin ecosystem
At the forefront of technology, decentralized AI is rapidly moving from an idea to a cornerstone of web3. In response to growing concerns about centralized AI, such as bias, censorship, and privacy risks, the call for a more inclusive, safer AI landscape has never been clearer. Built on the pillars of distributed storage, computing power, and transparent data labeling, decentralized AI offers solutions to these challenges, and Filecoin is leading the way.
Filecoin drives this evolution through four innovative projects:
Ramo coordinates capital and hardware to support complex multi-network AI workloads.
Swan Chain connects global users with idle computing power and stores AI data securely on Filecoin.
Lilypad matches computing needs with providers in a distributed marketplace, ensuring transparency for IPFS and Filecoin.
Bagel combines artificial intelligence with cryptography to achieve decentralized training and storage, thereby maximizing revenue for Filecoin storage providers.
By integrating decentralized storage and compute, these projects are reshaping the development of AI, paving the way for innovations that solve today’s challenges while laying the foundation for future possibilities.
