Hackathon Summary
The Verifiable AI Hackathon was hosted by cheqd and focused on building a trusted AI ecosystem through a secure, verifiable and ethical system. The event attracted 278 developers to participate, with a total of 21 projects submitted, committed to promoting the establishment of a trusted AI environment. Developers proposed solutions to the abuse of AI technology (such as deepfake fraud) and the challenges of building transparent and ethical AI systems.
Participants explored topics such as autonomous economy, AI verification, and secure data applications using cheqds decentralized identifier (DID) and verifiable credential (VC) technologies. Core results include innovative content authentication solutions and application practices to prevent false information through verification of data sets.
This hackathon highlights the need for AI solutions to develop with transparency and user rights at the core, aiming to empower developers through blockchain tools and lay a solid foundation for secure and reliable AI applications. This initiative is committed to upgrading the interaction mode between digital identity and AI to a new paradigm that takes into account sustainability and privacy protection.
