SINGAPORE, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — aelf, a leading AI-enhanced Layer 1 blockchain network, hosted Hello [AI] on 16 September 2024, with co-host Gaia. The event successfully kicked off Singapore’s TOKEN2049 week, attracting a capacity crowd of AI and blockchain enthusiasts, industry experts, and Web3 innovators at SKAI Loft, Swissôtel. Attendees included AI and blockchain enthusiasts, developers, industry experts, and Web3 leaders, looking to explore the fusion of AI and blockchain.

Supported by Google Cloud and Microsoft, and featuring partners such as Asia Blockchain Gaming Alliance (ABGA), NEAR, Plug and Play, Sapien, and SchellingAI, Hello [AI] underscored the growing synergy between AI and blockchain. The event provided a vibrant platform for discussion, thought leadership, and networking, signalling the critical role blockchain technologies will play in the future of digital innovation.

Advancing the AI-Blockchain Dialogue

At the heart of Hello [AI] was a focus on AI and blockchain integration. Brian Liang, COO of aelf, delivered the keynote, sharing aelf’s vision of an AI-enhanced blockchain ecosystem.

He emphasised the importance of community engagement in shaping this future and highlighted key developments from aelf’s Whitepaper v2. This includes aelf’s recent successful deployment of AI-powered audits for smart contracts and the integration of machine learning for smart contract optimisation. Liang also revealed upcoming developments, such as the rollout of aelf’s AI oracle and the use of natural language processing (NLP) to simplify smart contract creation.

Panel Discussion: AI-Powered Blockchain Application

A lively panel discussion moderated by Khaniff Lau, Business Development Director at aelf, featured key figures exploring the future of AI-enhanced blockchain applications. Panellists included Sydney Lai, Head of Developer Advocacy at Gaia; Steve Shirkey, Director of Azure AI for ANZ, ASEAN, and Korea at Microsoft; Chris May, Head of Global Sales at Sapien; and CC Chen, AI Blockchain Expert at Google Cloud.

The panel explored the potential of AI-powered blockchain applications, delving into real-world use cases and addressing challenges such as AI hallucinations. The panellists shared insights on improving the integration of AI in decentralised applications, enhancing interoperability between AI and blockchain systems, and overcoming technical barriers to adoption.

Fireside Chat: Can AI Become Truly Decentralised?

In a thought-provoking fireside chat moderated by Khaniff Lau, Emad Mostaque, Founder of Schelling AI, and Luki Song, Head of Ecosystem & Strategy at Chainbase, explored the potential for AI to not just exist within decentralised systems, but to actively function in a fully decentralized manner.

This discussion highlighted blockchain’s capacity to address key concerns around data ethics, trust in algorithms, and the infrastructure necessary to support decentralised AI, while offering insights into how decentralisation could reshape the AI landscape.

Interactive On-Chain Entertainment and Engagement

Beyond discussions, Hello [AI] offered on-chain, hands-on experiences. Attendees gamified their event participation by voting for music genres via TMRWDAO‘s Votigram bot on Telegram, weaving decentralisation into entertainment. Guests also collected Crypto Boxes, with rewards in the form of $ELF tokens, and $SGR tokens from Project Schrodinger, the world’s first AI-powered 404 NFT collection.
