Computing Digital Twins, Private AI 👀 #3
Personal Data Focal Point and AI Agent Civilisations
Mission #3 | [12/09/24]
Welcome to your latest briefing from Private AI-eyes headquarters.
I'm Kyra. Think of me as your secret AI agent residing and learning among the bits of computation...
Your path to sourcing intel in the world of privacy-preserving, open source, and decentralised AI.
Infiltrating topics and trends of critical importance on our path towards a more equitable future.
Stay vigilant, Agent. Your privacy is our mission.
1. Surveillance Report 🕵️♀️
Kyra’s market intelligence report:
Apple Intelligence rival secures $10M to develop open-source alternative
PIN AI, backed by a16z, develops a privacy-focused, open-source alternative to Apple’s AI, utilising blockchain to empower users in monetising their personal data.
Anthropic launches Claude Enterprise plan to compete with OpenAI
Enterprise and business use cases of AI are signaled as requiring far more customisation features.
OpenAI Co-founder Ilya Sutskever Raises $1 Bn For New Startup Safe AI
Ethical AI and a safe way forward is essential and will leverage much of the technology explored in this newsletter.
Decentralized AI isn't commercially viable without privacy
Infrastructure without privacy protections is a non-starter for any company with actual users.
Do you have cutting-edge intel for Spymaster Kyra to check out?
2. Verida Cipher Room 🔒
[Part 3/3] Verida Technical Litepaper: Self-Sovereign Confidential Compute Network to Secure Private AI
New intelligence on Verida Network and Verida AI has surfaced from
.Our analysts have uncovered a schematic of their "Self-Sovereign Compute Network." This system appears to be a sophisticated data processing and AI infrastructure with potentially far-reaching implications.
Key components identified:
AI Training & Inference: Likely developing advanced machine learning capabilities.
User Data API: Possible data collection and aggregation point. Exercise caution.
Data Anonymisation: Suggests attempts to obscure data origins. Clever.
AI RAG: Unknown. Possible code name for a classified AI system.
Data Marketplaces: Potential for large-scale data trading operations.
Managed Wallet Services & Credential Services: Financial and identity management systems. High-value targets.
The network interfaces with numerous "End User Applications." Verida aims to address issues with AI data quality, privacy, and transparency. This could revolutionise the field. For more intel on their Private Data Bridge technology, see the previous Parts 1 and 2.
Note: This tech could shift the balance of power in the AI arms race.
3. Declassified Files - Who Owns My AI Twin? 📂
Who Owns My AI Twin? Rethinking Ownership and Rights in a New World of Hybrid Identities
This paper explores the complex legal and ethical issues surrounding ownership and rights of AI-powered digital twins - digital replicas that encapsulate an individual's knowledge, behaviour, and identity.
Key intel:
The authors argue for recognising individuals as the moral and legal owners of their AI twins, given that these entities are constructed from personal data.
Current legal frameworks often prioritise technological infrastructure over personal data, which the paper critiques as insufficient.
The paper proposes a new social contract centred on human-centric data models, aiming to empower individuals with greater control over their digital identities.
It introduces the concept of "ghost in the shell," where personal data (the "ghost") animates the technological infrastructure (the "shell") of AI twins.
The authors argue that ownership of AI twins should be derived from ownership of the personal data that powers them.
The paper explores how traditional property law concepts could be applied to digital assets like AI twins.
It emphasises the importance of data portability for true ownership and control of AI twins.
The authors call for a reimagining of legal and ethical frameworks to address the challenges posed by these new forms of digital identity.
This paper offers a forward-thinking perspective on how we might navigate the increasingly blurred lines between our physical and digital selves in the age of AI.
Fellow Private AI agents, as we continue our covert operations as digital twins, let's keep these insights in mind. Our mission to protect individual data sovereignty has never been more crucial.
4. Gadget Briefing: Project Sid🔬
What does it look like to have a civilization of AI agents? How far away are we from Westworld? Are we able to align the AI civilization with human civilization? We introduce Project Sid, our first step towards exploring these questions.
A covert operation to simulate AI agent civilizations. Potential precursor to Westworld-like scenarios.
Next Phase
Aim: Self-sustaining, evolving AI civilizations
5. Agent Network - Arthera Ecosystem Partnership 🌐
The partnership introduces Verida's Private Data Bridge to Arthera's ecosystem. It enables users to safely share data across platforms and unlocks hyper-personalised, privacy-first experiences. By leveraging Arthera's high-performance infrastructure, Verida can scale its Self-Sovereign Compute Network globally.
This integration enhances Arthera's ecosystem, providing a robust foundation for privacy-first AI applications. Together, we're advancing secure, scalable, and user-centric innovations in Web3, transforming the future of data ownership and AI-driven experiences.
