A new ledgerless blockchain is connecting AI agents around the world and, one day, hopes they will combine into artificial general intelligence.
HyperCycle, an early-stage ledgerless blockchain project that connects artificial intelligence (AI) machines to share resources, has signed up 347,000 computational nodes to the network, according to CEO Toufi Saliba.
Each node only costs around $1,000 at present, so that’s not a huge amount in dollar value, but the project was founded to become “the internet of AI” and to one day decentralize artificial general intelligence (AGI).
SingularityNET founder Ben Goertzel is the chief AI scientist for the project, which he developed because no existing blockchain is able to provide the speed and coordination required for AI. HyperCycle uses the Toda communication protocol, proof-of-reputation and modified proof-of-work, as well as Cardano’s Hydra.
