Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is partnering with decentralized AI infrastructure company Zero Gravity (0G) in a $5 million investment to establish a research center focused on advancing decentralized AI technology. This collaboration aims to develop more transparent, secure, and verifiable AI systems built upon blockchain. 0G’s expertise will be applied to areas like decentralized AI training, blockchain-integrated model alignment, and Proof of Useful Work (PoUW) consensus mechanisms. 0G’s research center fosters an open ecosystem for developers, institutions, and communities to participate in verification and auditing, promoting a shift from closed to open and transparent AI.
