VeChain and SingularityNET team up on AI to fight climate change
Artificial intelligence firm SingularityNET and blockchain firm VeChain have become the latest firms to marry blockchain with artificial intelligence — this time, with the aim of cutting down carbon emissions.
Over the last year, the crypto industry has seen an increasing amount of collaboration between blockchain and AI technology.
On Aug. 24, VeChain — a smart contract-compatible blockchain used for supply-chain tracking — announced a strategic collaboration with the decentralized AI services-sharing platform SingularityNET.
In a joint statement, the firms said the partnership will merge VeChain’s enterprise data with SingularityNET's advanced AI algorithms to enhance automation of manual processes and provide real-time data.
SingularityNET founder and CEO Ben Goertzel told Cointelegraph that blockchain and AI go hand-in-hand and can solve problems where traditional approaches often fail.
“The last few years have taught the world that when the right AI algorithms meet the right data on sufficient processing power, magic can happen,” said Goertzel.
Dr Ben Goertzel says an AGI deployed across millions of nodes around the world can't be taken over by hostile, centralized forces: "Blockchain solves that problem better than it solves the problem of money,” he says. https://t.co/jPlp5BrSUY
Goertzel explained the partnership could, for example, allow AI to identify new ways to use VeChain’s blockchain data to optimize carbon emission output and minimize pollution.
“Achieving a sustainable and environmentally positive economy is an extremely complex problem involving coordination of a large number of different economic players,” he added.
Meanwhile, VeChain Chief Technology Officer Antonio Senatore added: “Blockchain and AI offer
