Amsterdam will host the Decentralized Knowledge Graph Conference (DKGcon) on October 24-25, 2024, gathering AI, Web3, and internet innovators to tackle one of the most pressing challenges in technology today: building AI systems that are not only powerful but verifiable and reliable. Organized by OriginTrail, the conference theme “AI Meets Reliability” brings into focus the urgent need for trusted, accountable AI solutions as generative AI tools continue to reshape industries and daily life.
A Convergence of Industry Visionaries and Technological Pioneers
DKGcon 2024 is set to feature influential voices such as Dr. Bob Metcalfe, the inventor of Ethernet; Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET and a thought leader in artificial general intelligence; Gary Marcus, a cognitive scientist and critic of unregulated AI; and Branimir Rakić, CTO and co-founder of OriginTrail. These experts, among others, will discuss how blockchain and knowledge graph technologies can mitigate issues like data bias, privacy concerns, and model unreliability, all key challenges for sustainable AI.
Exploring the Power of Knowledge Graphs in AI Integrity
OriginTrail’s Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) lies at the heart of the event. Initially a tool for tech giants like Google and Amazon, DKGs provide a robust foundation for tracking data origins and ensuring reliability—an essential feature as organizations worldwide, from Microsoft to AWS, seek ways to verify and validate AI-generated information. DKGcon will highlight how the fusion of blockchain with knowledge graphs offers AI systems a new level of transparency and traceability, allowing users to verify information and prevent issues like “hallucinations” (AI inaccuracies).
Hands-On Learning and Future-Driven Discussions
In addition to panels and presentations, DKGcon will include practical workshops where attendees can learn directly from experts about building with OriginTrail’s open-source DKG. The event promises hands-on experience in applying decentralized tech to AI development, providing a glimpse into how industries, including supply chains, scientific research, and virtual ecosystems, stand to benefit from these innovations.
Global Access Through Livestreaming
DKGcon 2024 will be available via livestream on the OriginTrail YouTube channel, with in-person workshops limited to ticket holders. OriginTrail’s initiatives emphasize creating a “verifiable Internet for AI” to counter challenges like AI bias and model collapse. With support from global leaders such as the British Standards Institution and Swiss Federal Railways, OriginTrail is positioning itself as a crucial player in ensuring AI accountability.
