CS: Blockchain Series - Large AI Models Built Across Networks of Blockchains
This event is hosted by the IEEE Foothill Section Computer Society Chapter in collaboration with the newly formed IEEE Foothill Blockchain Group, and the IEEE Orange County Computer Society, and IEEE Orange County Blockchain Group.
Continuing the IEEE Foothill Blockchain Group's Blockchain Series, this presentation is part of a curated lineup of workshops and talks designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals, real-world applications, and hands-on implementation of blockchain technology. Through this series, attendees will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to build competency in blockchain development and its broader ecosystem.
Abstract:
The federated services of AI need a secure, accountable, and cooperative approach, where a decentralised secure computing continuum operates across legal silos in a cloud/edge environment. The federated platform bitUnitor is proposed to virtually augment existing infrastructures with seamless integration of RAG agentic microservices in an automated MoE workflow managed under consensuses of smart contracts, involving the usage of digital assets identified by decentralised identifiers (DIDs), validated in a federated network of blockchain services, such as EBSI (European Blockchain Service Infrastructure). It allows each participating entity to maintain fine-grained control over its digital assets while sharing computational results using these assets.
The following topics are essential components to be explored:
1) Secure and process-centric digital asset and services composition across organisations;
2) Secure and quality critical service discovery, integration, and automation;
3) Trustworthy, adaptive, and quality critical business application testing;
4) Compliance auto-check and barrier overcoming.
The bitUnitor ecosystem will boost the competitiveness and capacity for trustworthy, secure, and data privacy preserving computing continuum. The integration and validation of breakthrough technologies will bring improvements in cyber-resilience and data protection for applications deployed in heterogeneous infrastructures. By integrating ethics aspects in a human-oriented design, seamless collaboration between humans and computing continuum systems can be realised.
