DFINITY and SingularityNET partner to advance decentralised AI infrastructure

• The DFINITY Foundation and SingularityNET are eyeing decentralised AI infrastructure
• The project will integrate the Internet Computer blockchain with the SingularityNET marketplace.
• SingularityNET CEO Dr. Ben Goertzel says the collaboration aims to develop infrastructure for decentralised AI and AGI that benefits all of humanity.

The DFINITY Foundation (DFINITY) and decentralised AI marketplace SingularityNET (AGIX) have announced a strategic partnership aimed at advancing the decentralised artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure ecosystem.

DFINITY and SingularityNET will use the collaboration to build the infrastructure that will bring decentralised AI services to dApps built on the Internet Computer (ICP) blockchain, according to details published in a press release on Monday.

The push for decentralised AI infrastructure

The two companies are collaborating as the push for a decentralised approach to AI and Artificial General Intellogence (AGI) grow. 

An ecosystem that has the right infrastructure will help bring the benefits of this technological leap to humanity.

“SingularityNET and DFINITY have each created critical tools and platforms enabling great decentralisation of AI and AGI; bringing these two toolsets together will be an important step toward creating a decentralised AI network for the benefit of all humanity,” Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET, said in a statement.

The two organisations plan to synergize their grant programs, with the aim of Deep Funding DFINITY’s Developer Grant Program. In this case, the organisations hope to stimulate the developer community, providing the resources researchers and scientists will need to advance the decentralised AI ecosystem.
