WiMi is Working on a Blockchain-Enhanced Federal Learning Privacy-Preserving Mechanism

Published

BEIJING, Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that it is working on the Federal Learning on Blockchain (FLoBC), aiming to address two core challenges in the current data science field by integrating cutting-edge advances with blockchain technology and federated learning. The two challenges are data privacy protection and efficient training of large-scale machine learning models.

Federated learning is a distributed machine-learning approach that allows models to be trained collaboratively without directly exchanging or centralizing raw data. This mechanism effectively protects user privacy by performing local model training on each participating node (e.g., mobile devices, enterprise servers, etc.) and sharing only updates to model parameters rather than raw data. However, the traditional federated learning framework faces problems such as inefficient communication and slow model convergence when facing large-scale, decentralized datasets, which is the key breakthrough direction of the blockchain-based federated learning framework researched by WiMi.

Blockchain technology, with its tamper-proof, transparent and distributed nature, provides a new foundation of trust for data sharing and transactions. In the blockchain-based federated learning framework, blockchain not only serves as a distributed ledger to record every transaction of model update to ensure the transparency and verifiability of the training process, but also automates the management of verification, integration and incentive mechanism of model update through smart contracts, which facilitates collaboration and trust building in a decentralized environment.

The blockchain-based federated learning framework utilizes the distributed nature of blockchain networks to design an efficient set of inter-node communication protocols and task scheduling algorithms that enable multiple nodes to process different parts of model training in parallel, significantly accelerating the training process. This mechanism is particularly suitable for processing large datasets and optimises computational resources.

In addition, by constructing an autonomous learning network without a central coordinator, the blockchain-based federated learning framework ensures system resistance to a single point of failure. Each participating node can independently validate model updates, maintaining the consistency and stability of the entire network.

WiMi’s blockchain-based federated learning framework has a wide range of applications, involving sensitive data and large-scale model training, from financial risk control, and healthcare data analysis to personalized recommendation systems. However, many technical challenges need to be overcome to realize this vision, including improving cross-chain interoperability to expand data sources, enhancing encryption algorithms to protect the privacy of model updates further, and optimizing incentives to attract more participants to join the federated learning network.

The blockchain-based federated learning framework is not only an attempt to deeply integrate the existing federated learning and blockchain technologies, but also a forward-looking response to the demand for privacy protection and efficient computation in the future data economy. It integrates the advantages of federated learning to protect data privacy by training models locally with the decentralized and transparent characteristics of blockchain, and creates an innovative path to maximize data value under the premise of protecting data privacy by ensuring the credibility of model updates, establishing an effective incentive mechanism, and strengthening security, which is the cutting-edge direction for the integration of current data science and privacy protection technologies. With the continuous development of technology and the deepening of application exploration, the blockchain-based federated learning framework is expected to become an important driving force to promote the development of artificial intelligence and data science.

Global energy executive joins Prometheus Hyperscale to accelerate sustainable data center growth and provide strategic counsel on $10B flagship project in Evanston, Wyoming

HOUSTON, Nov. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Prometheus Hyperscale, a leading developer of sustainable hyperscale data centres, is delighted to announce the appointment of Bernard Looney as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Mr. Looney, former CEO of BP, brings to the role more than three decades of energy sector expertise – from the frontline to the boardroom. He will provide strategic guidance on the development of the company’s growth plans, including its $10B flagship data center in Evanston, Wyoming, which will be among the largest facilities of its kind in the world when completed.

The announcement of Mr. Looney’s appointment comes as societies and large technology companies grapple with how to power the explosive growth in artificial intelligence (AI). The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that by 2026 data centers globally will use over 1,000 terawatt-hours (TWh) annually, around the same as Japan uses today. Against this backdrop of soaring demand and squeezed supply, Prometheus is pioneering new standards in hyperscale data center operations.

These approaches include harnessing a variety of energy sources to power its data centers, including renewables, natural gas and possibly nuclear at a later date through our strategic partnership with Oklo. Prometheus aims for its data centers to not impact grid customers.

Another key challenge is the enormous amount of power and water used to cool data centers to prevent the servers from overheating. Prometheus Hyperscale uses a unique liquid cooling system that dramatically outperforms traditional air-cooling methods, reducing energy consumption by up to 50%. This system also utilises deep underground water reservoirs and captures the waste heat to reuse or sequester it. It’s believed that Prometheus Hyperscale’s flagship project will be the first hyperscale data center in the United States to combine liquid heat transfer and heat reuse technologies.

Founded by Trenton Thornock, an experienced leader in energy, finance and infrastructure, Prometheus Hyperscale’s flagship project in Evanston, Wyoming, promises to be the most advanced sustainable data center in the United States, and one of the largest in the world, when it becomes operational in 2025/26. The 1GW-capacity developed site will cover an area of 640-acres (one square mile), making it approximately three quarters the size of New York’s Central Park. Four further sites are currently earmarked across Arizona and Colorado.

As Chairman, Mr. Looney will ensure the successful execution of Evanston as well as Prometheus’s broader business goals. His appointment comes following the recent announcement that Trevor Neilson, a renowned climate technology entrepreneur and philanthropist, will serve as the company’s President.

It’s estimated that $1 trillion will be invested in the U.S. in data centers in the next five years – with an additional $1 trillion internationally.

Trenton Thornock, Founder and CEO of Prometheus Hyperscale commented: “Having Bernard Looney join as Chairman is a tremendous step forward for Prometheus. Bernard’s track record and transformative leadership in the energy sector aligns perfectly with our vision for the future of data centers. His insights, as well as his extensive operational and project delivery experience, will be invaluable as we bring our flagship project in Evanston, Wyoming to life and set new benchmarks for sustainable digital infrastructure.”

Trevor Neilson, President of Prometheus Hyperscale, commented: “Bernard is the perfect person to guide Prometheus as we form partnerships across the energy sector to access low-carbon electrons that will power the future of AI. His extensive industry experience and leadership will be instrumental as Prometheus establishes itself at the forefront of sustainable data center operations.”

Bernard Looney commented: “I am delighted to join Prometheus Hyperscale at this pivotal moment as the world grapples with the intersection of AI, Energy and Sustainability. Innovative power solutions are desperately needed to ensure that AI is unleashed to tackle some of the biggest global challenges including healthcare, economic growth, and the energy transition. We must work to find solutions that lead to Net Positive AI – where the benefits to our world outweigh any costs. The flagship Evanston project is one such solution and I look forward to lending a helping hand, working alongside Trenton, Trevor, and the entire Prometheus team to help bring this vision to life. I can’t imagine a more exciting challenge.”
