artificial intelligence (ai)
The trust layer for AI
AI systems often operate as “black boxes” that are difficult to verify or audit. Hedera adds a much needed layer of trust, enabling AI agents to act transparently with tamper-proof data, real-time verification and automation built in.
| AI issue | DLT solution |
| Lack of accountability and ownership AI models can produce harmful or biased outcomes without clear accountability or responsible ownership. | Clear governance DLT records all actions and updates, providing clear accountability and ownership. |
| Data quality and security concerns AI models require large amounts of high-quality and sensitive data to function effectively, which can be prone to breaches. | Data provenance DLT encrypts messages, ensures traceable data origins, and securely records AI model updates. |
| Opaque decision-making AI models often operate as ‘black boxes,’ raising trust and accountability concerns. | Transparent and tamper-proof decision-making DLT provides an immutable audit trail of AI model decisions and uses consensus to verify the model functions as intended. |
| Biased datasets AI models trained on biased data can amplify misinformation and generate hallucinations. | Fairness DLT addresses bias at the source by tracking the origin of the information used to train the model. |
