On TRAC(k‪)‬ OriginTrail

Metcalfe's law is one of the foundational principles of networks, helping explain the explosive growth of technologies such as the internet. For this special episode of the On TRAC(k) podcast, we are joined by Dr. Bob Metcalfe himself, the Turing award winner who invented Ethernet and came up with the namesake law. Together with Amos Thomas, the creator of Tracverse and a prolific DKG educator, and OriginTrail co-founder Branimir Rakic, we come to you live from New York City during the 2024 Knowledge Graph Conference.

A special episode requires special topics, and there is no shortage of those. We dig into what Metcalfe's law is exactly and what it means for the verifiable internet for AI, the significance of having a "truly open" artificial intelligence, and we spotlight some exciting OriginTrail use cases and adoption updates.

On TRAC(k) brings you all the latest and juiciest developments from the OriginTrail ecosystem and the Decentralized Knowledge Graph, aka the DKG. On TRAC(k) is presented by OriginTrail and hosted and edited by Jonathan DeYoung.

On Episode 3 of the On TRAC(k) podcast, OriginTrail founders Žiga Drev, Tomaž Levak and Branimir Rakić — alongside host Jonathan DeYoung — discuss their vision for the future of artificial intelligence through the concept of the verifiable internet for AI, leveraging the synergies between crypto, the internet and AI technologies, as presented in OriginTrail’s Whitepaper 3.0. 
We introduce the concept of decentralized retrieval-augmented generation (dRAG), an approach that ensures the provenance, integrity and verifiability of information utilized by AI. We also discuss the challenges posed by misinformation, data ownership and bias inherent in AI, by synergizing neural and symbolic AI approaches with Web3 technologies.

Welcome to the new podcast On TRAC(k), brought to you by OriginTrail!

Hosted by Jonathan DeYoung, On TRAC(k) brings you all the latest and juiciest developments from the OriginTrail ecosystem and the Decentralized Knowledge Graph, aka the DKG.

Together with OriginTrail's founders — Žiga, Tomaž, and Branimir — Jonathan breaks down everything you need to know about the future of OriginTrail as it harnesses the power of knowledge itself and brings billions of assets to Web3 by way of the DKG.

As we enter the age of artificial intelligence (AI), the OriginTrail DKG is as relevant as ever. The importance of mapping and establishing the verifiability of knowledge has become critically apparent.

Or as Dr. Bob Metcalfe, the founder of Ethernet and creator of Metcalfe's law puts it: “What is true is the question of the hour and this is where the DKG comes in — to feed truth to the AIs that we're putting on top of the DKGs.”

Along the way, we'll feature special guests, drop alpha you won't want to miss, and really dive into what it is that makes OriginTrail unique — and the community so special. And, most importantly, we're bringing you right along with us. That's right, we'll also be answering all of your burning questions, so you're gonna want to tune in to each episode.
