The explosive rise of Artificial Intelligence has sparked the first stages of a new knowledge revolution, highlighting the need for convergence between Crypto, Internet and AI into a Verifiable Internet for AI proposed by OriginTrail.

The Verifiable Internet for AI effectively addresses AI's shortfalls by decentralizing the knowledge that AI systems use. One pioneering implementation is PolkaBotAI - a Decentralized AI education hub on Polkadot, which will see its full release in the coming months after receiving support from the Polkadot Treasury.

Spearheading PolkaBotAI's development is Trace Alliance, a collaborative hub building partnerships for trusted knowledge in the AI age. The solution revolutionizes how anyone can interact and learn about Polkadot, whether novice or seasoned, by allowing the wider ecosystem to create a trusted knowledge base that PolkaBotAI's AI leverages.

Unlike solutions using solely generative AI, PolkaBotAI implements a novel decentralized Retrieval Augmented Generation (dRAG) approach leveraging OriginTrail's Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG). Instead of solely generating responses, PolkaBotAI constructs them using trusted inputs from the community-populated DKG, providing information provenance, data ownership respect, and source verification.

The trusted knowledge PolkaBotAI accesses expands through community curation and a knowledge publishing process called knowledge mining. This gives each response trusted sources a user can verify.

PolkaBotAI received backing through an approved OpenGov treasury proposal on April 23, 2024. As an AI-powered educational platform tailoring learning experiences, PolkaBotAI represents a leap forward in interacting with Polkadot's content - enabling access to trusted knowledge and precise online responses.

By decentralizing AI with OriginTrail, PolkaBotAI exemplifies the convergence of Crypto, Internet, and AI into a Verifiable Internet for AI, addressing shortfalls like hallucinations, bias, IP rights mishandling, and potential model collapses. This pioneering solution paves the way for realizing AI's immense opportunities in a secure, transparent manner benefiting users, developers, and the wider ecosystem.
