Building Artificial Intelligence we can trust using ZK Proofs, with EZKL CEO Jason Morton

Lex chats with Jason Morton, CEO of EZKL - EZKL is a technology that helps people build around artificial intelligence using zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) and the latest in technology. Jason explains that ZK proofs are a way to prove that a computation has been executed correctly without revealing any sensitive information. The proofs can be used to verify the execution of AI models, statistical models, and other computations on blockchain networks. EZKL provides a command line tool, a backend proving service, and a Python library for developers to use. The company's economic model involves licensing the components of the system and running backend services. In the future, EZKL aims to provide a more complete solution for interacting with the technology. The demand for verifiable AI and ZK proofs is expected to come from both Web2 and Web3 companies, as well as enterprise clients MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION EZKL's Website: https://bit.ly/4dx1wUb Jason's Twitter: https://bit.ly/4boqumY Topics: fintech, machine learning, ai, artificial intelligence, llm, zk-proofs, zero-knowledge proofs, blockchain, web3 Companies: EZKL, Ethereum, Bitcoin, DARPA ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT 🔥Subscribe to the Fintech Blueprint newsletter to stay at the forefront of Fintech and DeFi: https://bit.ly/3hyhlC2 🤝 Partner with Fintech Blueprint through sponsorships: https://bit.ly/3UZllsV 👉 Twitter: https://twitter.com/LexSokolin TIMESTAMPS 1’18: From Mathematics to Machine Learning: Tracing the Journey of an AI Researcher" 3’47: Putting Theory Into Practice: Navigating the Evolution of Neural Networks and Blockchain 7’18: Understanding Zero-Knowledge Proofs: The Evolution and Impact of Cryptographic Privacy 11’02: Digital Trust and Privacy: How Zero-Knowledge Proofs Enhance Security and Authentication Online 16’15: From Consensus to Cryptography: Exploring the Transformative Impact of Zero-Knowledge Proofs on Blockchain Technology 22’30: Revolutionizing AI with Blockchain: The Strategic Focus of EZKL on Verifiable and Secure Machine Learning 28’18: Connecting Worlds: Bridging Advanced AI and Blockchain Technology for Economic and Computational Efficiency 31’21: Strategic Transparency: Integrating Proofs in Smart Contracts for Trustworthy Investment Strategies 35’44: EZKL Defined: Navigating the Blend of Product, Library, and Framework in Blockchain Proofs 38’48: Blurring Lines: Will Web3 Innovations or Traditional Web2 Enterprises Drive the Future Demand for EZKL? 40’28: The channels used to connect with Jason & learn more about EZKL
