Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world, but it also raises many ethical and legal questions. How can we ensure that AI systems are fair, safe, and accountable? How can we verify the data and methods used to train and deploy AI models? How can we protect the rights and privacy of the users and creators of AI?

These are some of the challenges that Hedera and EQTY Lab are addressing with their innovative solution: the AI Integrity Suite. This is a blockchain-based platform that allows AI developers and users to track and verify the characteristics and functions of large language models (LLMs), which are the core of many AI applications.

What are LLMs and why do they matter?

LLMs are AI models that can generate natural language texts based on a given input. They can be used for various purposes, such as chatbots, content creation, translation, summarization, and more. Some of the most popular LLMs are ChatGPT, Gemini, and Hugging Face.

However, LLMs are also complex and opaque. They require huge amounts of data to train, and they can produce unpredictable and potentially harmful outputs. For example, ChatGPT maker OpenAI faces a massive lawsuit from the New York Times over copyright infringement, and another $3 billion lawsuit over illegal internet data scrapping.

Therefore, it is crucial to have a way to monitor and audit the LLMs and ensure that they comply with the ethical and legal standards. This is where Hedera and EQTY Lab come in.

How does the AI Integrity Suite work?

The AI Integrity Suite is a software solution that enables AI developers to create cryptographic fingerprints for every component and stage of an AI system, from the data sources to the model outputs. These fingerprints are then stored on the Hedera blockchain, which is a fast, secure, and decentralized network that supports smart contracts and tokenization.

By using the Hedera blockchain, the AI Integrity Suite ensures that the fingerprints are immutable and verifiable by anyone. This way, the AI developers can prove the provenance, quality, and integrity of their LLMs, and the AI users can check the authenticity, reliability, and safety of the LLMs they interact with.

The AI Integrity Suite also provides a dashboard that allows the AI developers and users to monitor and analyze the performance and behavior of the LLMs, and to identify and mitigate any risks or issues that may arise.

Who is using the AI Integrity Suite?

The AI Integrity Suite is being evaluated by Accenture, one of the world’s leading consulting and technology firms, in its AI lab in Brussels. Accenture has a global clientele that includes dozens of Fortune 100 companies, many of whom are interested in adopting AI solutions for their businesses.

If the AI Integrity Suite proves to be viable and scalable, Accenture plans to implement it for its clients, and to help them leverage the benefits of AI while ensuring its responsibility and accountability.

EQTY Lab is also collaborating with Hugging Face, a leading AI community platform, to integrate the AI Integrity Suite with its open source LLMs. This will allow the Hugging Face users to access and contribute to the AI Integrity Suite, and to enhance the transparency and trust of their AI projects.

Why is this important for the future of AI?

The AI Integrity Suite is a groundbreaking innovation that addresses one of the most pressing challenges of AI development: how to ensure its ethical and legal compliance. By using blockchain technology, the AI Integrity Suite provides a transparent and trustworthy way to track and verify the LLMs, and to empower the AI developers and users to make informed and responsible decisions.

The AI Integrity Suite also showcases the potential of Hedera and EQTY Lab, two companies that are at the forefront of blockchain and AI innovation. Hedera and EQTY Lab are demonstrating how blockchain and AI can work together to create a more secure, efficient, and sustainable world.
