At Pragma Denver 2024, Joyce Yang (Global Coin Research) moderates a visionary panel with Doug Petkanics (Livepeer), Illia Polosukhin (NEAR Protocol), and Niraj Pant (Ritual) discussing the convergence of crypto and AI, open-source intelligence, and decentralized infrastructure. The discussion spans practical use cases like using GPUs from Livepeer for generative video, building decentralized LLMs, creating AI marketplaces, and redefining incentives for open-source development. They examine where the crypto x AI stack lags behind Big Tech, the regulatory hurdles affecting innovation, and how decentralized models can protect open data, improve governance, and unlock new creator economies. This is a must-watch for anyone building at the intersection of Web3 and artificial intelligence, interested in decentralized compute, open model development, or exploring the future of AI-enabled crypto apps. 00:00 Intro to open-source intelligence and crypto 00:37 Panelist intros: NEAR, Ritual, Livepeer, GCR 03:20 Why crypto is essential for AI’s future 05:18 AI model bias, training data, and global payments 07:05 Trustless AI execution and model governance 08:12 Using GPUs for generative video on Livepeer 10:39 Decentralized infra vs centralized AI platforms 12:23 Creating open-source AI development incentives 13:35 Bootstrapping global compute via cryptoeconomics 14:46 Permissionless payments and model monetization 15:52 Crypto’s strengths in privacy, governance, and UX 17:29 Hiring AI talent and learning ML 101 19:12 How to attract open-source AI builders 20:50 Creators using AI and NFTs for media production 22:37 Empowering non-coders with AI tools 23:43 Need for scarcity, identity, and markets in GenAI 24:13 Using AI to bridge mainstream users into crypto 25:17 Natural language interfaces for smart contracts 26:53 Hidden crypto layers powering consumer experiences 27:58 Why users might choose decentralized AI 29:43 Crypto-native characters and tokenized identities 30:50 What drives adoption: new value, not decentralization 32:15 Bull markets and their impact on crypto AI growth 33:53 Market cycles and developer momentum 35:02 Regulatory risk, lobbying, and open-source defense 38:19 Historical parallels to cryptography regulation 40:05 Export rules, data center KYC, and global strategy 42:21 Advice for AI x crypto builders and founders 44:08 Where crypto uniquely enables GenAI use cases 45:41 Open data sets, registries, and creator economies 46:11 Closing applause and final thoughts _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇺🇸 *Pragma Denver* Pragma Denver 2024 took place at The Arch in Denver on February 28, 2024, and was an in-person summit for builders and leaders in the web3 ecosystem.

Clip The video features a speaker, Michael Friedrich, discussing various topics related to generative AI and its implications in the crypto and technical world. He begins by engaging the audience with questions about their use of AI tools like ChatGPT and its competitors. Michael introduces himself, mentioning his seven-year tenure at Adobe, his work on AI and ML platforms, and personal interests including surfing and FPV drone racing. He then delves into the definition of generative AI, illustrating its evolution from text-to-image applications to multimodal ones that include speech output. The conversation touches on the hype around generative AI in business marketing and its potential trajectory towards achieving human-level intelligence. Michael skips over basic explanations of transformer architecture due to the audience's familiarity, moving on to discuss large language models (LLMs), their structure, function, and how they learn from data inputs to predict outputs. He highlights the astonishing capabilities of LLMs like GPT-3 and GPT-4 in understanding language and generating coherent responses. Questions from the audience lead to discussions about unpredictability in AI outputs, the concept of creativity in models, and how randomness plays a role in generating new content. The speaker also addresses concerns about whether AIs can be considered conscious beings. Further into the talk, Michael explores the

Web3 will not reach mass adoption without an identity layer. Use cases such as digital democracy, personal DeFi, and portable reputation require a mechanism for identities that are richer than Ethereum addresses. To address this need, there are three main approaches: Verifiable Credentials, NFTs (SBT), and naming services (i.e ENS). While NFTs and ENS are easier to adopt and understand by the Web3 community, they do not offer the privacy and interoperability of the Verifiable Credentials approach - a standard defined by W3C and adopted by governments and organizations worldwide. Adopting Verifiable Credentials and DID as the identity layer for Web3 has the potential to bridge the gap between Web2 and enterprise applications and bring mass adoption to Ethereum. The challenge, however, is to provide tools that streamline the adoption and implementation of these standards by the Web3 community. These tools should abstract the complexity and provide the necessary privacy and security features required to use these identities on-chain. This is where PolygonID comes in. In this presentation, we will introduce the Polygon ID toolset provided to the Web3 community and go through some of the innovations that allow for the use of off-chain credentials in on-chain transactions. We will also analyze the use cases and possibilities created for existing Web3 applications, such as DAOs, DeFi, and games. TLDR: Verifiable Credentials are being brought to blockchain to address the need for identity verification in Web3, with support from all chain verifications for free fire credentials and Polygon ID moving towards standards. 00:00 🔍 Verifiable credentials are being brought to blockchain to address the growing need for identity verification due to the increasing use of generative AI and automation. 01:34 🔑 Web3's use cases such as democracy, high value transactions, portable reputation, and a single global identity require trust, which is hindered by the lack of trust in users, and now that scalability has been solved, the next step is to address this trust issue. 02:30 🔑 Decentralized identity in blockchain has two approaches, one being the use of NFTs to express attributes, but this limits the amount of information and richness of identities, especially for private information like biometrics and reputational scores. 04:09 🔍 Verifiable Credentials can now be verified on chain, providing flexibility and privacy for high value transactions, with support from all chain verifications for free fire credentials and Polygon ID moving towards standards. 06:24 📈 Polygon is creating Polygon ID to achieve liquidity of credentials and improve user experience in Web3. 08:18 👥 Adoption and ecosystem building are key to solving the identity layer problem, and the speaker's team is making their advanced did method open source to encourage adoption and unlock real-world use cases. 09:33 🚀 A product update with strong technology is not enough to solve the identity game on the blockchain, as it requires an ecosystem, and Polygon ID aims to attract people to their trusted infrastructure provider with massive adoption in the serum ecosystem. 11:06 📱 An open-source wallet SDK has been released, allowing for passwordless login and self-hosted nodes through Verifiable Credentials that can be checked with the verifier SDK and a JavaScript SDK available for issuing and verifying credentials on various platforms.
