In the current era of artificial intelligence (AI), human knowledge and creativity are being threatened by the voracious appetite of generative models. According to Amos Thomas, founder of Tracverse, this menace must be addressed at all costs. As AI continues to evolve and expand its capabilities, it is imperative that we recognize the value of human stories and knowledge as the lifeblood of civilization.
The Problem with Generative AI
Generative models, including large language models (LLMs), have come under intense scrutiny for their alleged practice of "sucking up" human knowledge and creative outputs without proper credit or compensation. This has led to a surge in lawsuits from creators who claim that their intellectual property rights have been infringed upon.
The Solution: Blockchain-Based Protection
Thomas proposes an innovative solution to this major issue – minting humanity’s stories on the blockchain. By leveraging the immutable and traceable nature of blockchain technology, Tracverse aims to categorize and protect human knowledge and creativity through its community-governed, community-owned storytelling ecosystem.
How Tracverse Works
Tracverse utilizes OriginTrail’s Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) technology to capture the power of stories that have had a profound impact on humanity since its inception. By categorizing and protecting human knowledge and creativity, Tracverse provides a safe haven for creators to upload and safeguard their content.
The Importance of Decentralization
Thomas emphasizes that decentralization is crucial in ensuring the integrity and security of human knowledge and creativity. By relying on blockchain technology, Tracverse creates an environment where creators can trust that their work will be protected and valued.
A New Era for Human Creativity
While AI models may continue to advance and improve, Thomas believes that they will never replace human creativity. Instead, AI is opening doors for more people to experiment creatively than ever before, allowing them to compete in industries previously dominated by gatekeepers.
The Future of AI-Human Collaboration
Thomas envisions a future where AI continues to augment human capabilities, but also acknowledges the possibility that humans may eventually become irrelevant. Until then, he advocates for better alignment between humans and AI, with a focus on verifiable and discoverable content.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Tracverse offers a beacon of hope in protecting humanity’s stories and knowledge from the insatiable appetite of generative AI models. By leveraging blockchain technology, Thomas aims to create a community-governed ecosystem that values human creativity and innovation. As we move forward in this era of AI, it is imperative that we recognize the importance of human knowledge and creativity as the lifeblood of civilization.
