Talla, a leading producer of B2B AI software, launched one of the first platforms to combine artificial intelligence with blockchain technology to bring trust and security using AI-driven autonomous agents in the workplace. This platform, called the Botchain, helps foster mass-adoption of AI products in business with intelligent agent auditing, compliance regulations, and communication standards on a blockchain. As AI-based systems become more prevalent, both users and applications will require a network where identities and transactions are verifiable and auditable. Blockchain technology is the missing piece that enables this.
Traditional APIs, which were created for simple data exchange, are ill-equipped to handle AI-driven autonomous systems. But a new generation of systems are emerging that can intelligently adapt, change, and make decisions over time. They are helping to create the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” in which we are experiencing huge shifts in the way work gets done using artificial intelligence. The new requirements for safety and security using autonomous systems cannot be solved by existing methods.
The Botchain provides critical systems for anyone that uses AI powered products, as well as those that develop them. For example, end users of any AI-powered, autonomous system will gain an auditable trail of interactions and decisions made, accomplished by hashing information about each agent task to the blockchain so it cannot be changed. Bots’ identities are verified with certainty to the humans that use them, and to other bots, preventing bot spoofing and spamming.
Developers benefit as well by ensuring system security, including:
- An auditable, decentralized trail for clarity and transparency on autonomous decisions reached;
- Transparency for re-training of machine learning models – which many systems are missing today;
- Standardized protocols for autonomous systems which allow them to tap into one another and communicate – therefore multiple layers of a network to work in tandem;
- An open marketplace of skills that bot developers can access and add to their product offerings.
