FLock teams with io.net to bring ‘Proof of AI’ to decentralized compute

FLock has partnered with io.net to create the world’s first AI Proof of Stake consensus mechanism designed to verify the integrity of nodes in decentralized computing networks.

According to a press release shared with Crypto.news, this approach uses AI training tasks to ensure that decentralized physical infrastructure networks operate fairly and effectively.

In other words, this system uses AI tasks to verify that all computers in the network are working as intended, maintaining integrity, and operating efficiently. The mechanism includes an engine that continuously provides challenges, collects responses, and provides statistics to compile decisions in a decentralized and AI-local manner.

“AI engineers and end users need to have confidence in the quality of the computational resources available to them, and Proof of AI is key to achieving this. Computation is the foundation of all AI development, so we’re starting with that and are delighted to join forces with io.net, a true leader in the field.”

PoAI, an AI-specific Proof of Work, allows nodes to earn block rewards by contributing to both DePINs and AI training networks like IO.net and FLock.io. The system constantly challenges these nodes with challenging AI tasks to ensure their contributions are accurate and trustworthy.

Developing decentralized AI ecosystems

FLock is responsible for generating synthetic data to challenge nodes and aims to extend PoAI’s verification capabilities beyond computational tasks to include AI training and federated learning. The long-term goal is to develop a private AI blockchain.

FLock and io.net working together is an important step in advancing decentralized AI ecosystems and paving the way for future innovations in this space.
