Casper Labs and IBM Join Hands to Create AI Data-Tracking System
The blockchain firm Casper Labs and the computer giant IBM have joined hands to create an AI data bias tracking system. Executives attending the World Economic Forum in Davos have said using blockchain technology to weed out biases in artificial intelligence models might turn out to be the "killer user case" of the technology.
Blockchain to Weed Out Biases in AI Models
Blockchain now gets preference because it allows AI developers to track the data used in training their respective models. The blockchain firm Casper Labs and the multinational technology corporation IBM have joined hands to create such an AI data-tracking system, according to a report by CNBC.
Business executives attending the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos believe that using blockchain to weed out bias or misinformation in the data used to train artificial intelligence (AI) models could be the technology’s “killer user case.”
The call for a blockchain-based data-tracking system comes at a time when concerns over the potential use of AI models in disseminating false or biased data are on the rise. One study has reported that when an AI model produces a skewed perspective on an issue, users will continue to replicate this beyond even their interactions with the AI model.
However, Medha Parlikar, the chief technology officer and co-founder of Casper Labs, who spoke at a WEF panel discussion, said that her firm’s solution is already proving to be useful in tackling the problem of AI bias.
“And so as you use the AI, if it’s learning and you find that the AI is starting to hallucinate, you can roll back the AI. And so you can undo some of the learning and go back to a previous version of the AI,” Parlikar explained.
Calls for Wider Adoption of AI Tracking Solutions
The CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation, Sheila Warren, insisted that an AI tracking solution may be the blockchain’s most consequential use case and one that validates the calls for its wider adoption. She added:
“I do think that the verification of an AI and the checks and balances within an AI system are going to be blockchain-driven and blockchain-backed.”
