Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular to a decentralized AI service network method and system for promoting data sharing, improving data security and privacy protection, and accelerating the provision of AI services by utilizing distributed computing resources. Background Art

[0002] In today's technological context, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is driving changes in all walks of life. However, as AI technology continues to increase its demand for data and computing power, traditional centralized AI systems are facing a series of challenges and problems, which mainly focus on data privacy, security, and the efficiency of computing resource utilization.

[0003] Data silos refer to data that is stored in isolation in different systems, organizations, or platforms and cannot be effectively shared and used together. This not only limits the availability of data, but also hinders the comprehensiveness and depth of AI model training, thereby affecting the accuracy and efficiency of AI applications. The data silo problem is caused by factors such as inconsistent data ownership, privacy policies, and technical standards, and is a major obstacle to the current data management system.

[0004] With the surge in the amount of personal and institutional data, how to protect the security and privacy of this data has become a major challenge. Centralized AI systems usually rely on storing a large amount of sensitive data in a single server or data center, which makes the data easy targets for hacker attacks. Once the data center is attacked, it may lead to large-scale data leaks. In addition, centralized data processing methods also make users lack sufficient control over their own data, exacerbating concerns about privacy protection.

[0005] The training of AI models, especially deep learning models, requires huge computing resources. However, the current centralized computing resources are often concentrated in a few large data centers, resulting in uneven resource allocation and high costs. In addition, a large number of computing resources may be idle at a certain time, resulting in a waste of resources. In addition, for small and medium-sized enterprises and individual developers, the high computing cost has become a major obstacle for them to enter the AI ​​field.

[0006] In the face of the above challenges, a new technical solution is urgently needed to promote the secure sharing of data, protect data privacy, and efficiently utilize the globally dispersed computing resources. Decentralized AI provides a possible path. Through distributed data storage, encryption technology, blockchain technology such as smart contracts, and decentralized computing networks, decentralized AI aims to build a more open, secure and efficient AI service ecosystem. Summary of the invention

[0007] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present invention proposes an innovative decentralized AI service network method and system, aiming to overcome the defects of traditional centralized AI systems in data privacy, security, and computing resource utilization efficiency. By combining advanced technical means and the concept of decentralization, the present invention aims to build a safer, more efficient, and fairer AI service ecosystem.

[0008] Technical implementation: This system uses decentralized storage technologies such as IPFS to store data in multiple nodes in the network instead of concentrating it in a single data center. Combining homomorphic encryption and secure multi-party computing technology, the stored data is encrypted to ensure absolute security and privacy protection of the data during storage and use.

[0009] Advantages and Impact: This technical solution not only improves the availability and durability of data, but also effectively avoids the security risks brought by centralized storage, providing strong technical support for data privacy protection.

[0010] Construction method: By establishing a decentralized computing resource pool, this system allows individuals and institutions around the world to contribute their computing resources. Smart contract technology is used to automatically manage the allocation and use of resources, improving the utilization efficiency and accessibility of computing resources.

[0011] Application value: This decentralized computing network greatly lowers the threshold for AI computing, allowing more researchers and developers to participate in the training and deployment of AI models, and promoting the innovation and application of AI technology.

[0012] Implementation plan: By designing a set of incentive mechanisms based on points, the present invention rewards participants who contribute data and computing power to the network. This incentive mechanism ensures the self-sufficiency and sustainable development of the network and stimulates the enthusiasm of community members.

[0013] Social effect: This incentive mechanism effectively promotes the sharing of data and computing resources, and accelerates the construction and development of the decentralized AI ecosystem.

[0014] Protection measures: This invention not only ensures data security through encryption technology, but also introduces technologies such as differential privacy to further protect the privacy of user data. These measures together constitute a multi-level security protection system, which effectively prevents the risk of data leakage and abuse.

[0015] Long-term impact: By ensuring data security and privacy protection, this invention creates a trust environment for users and data providers, promoting data sharing and collaboration.

[0016] Governance mechanism: This invention adopts the form of decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to realize the democratization and self-organization of network governance. All participants can participate in governance decision-making and jointly determine the development direction and policy adjustments of the network.

[0017] Development prospects: This decentralized governance model not only ensures the transparency and fairness of network operation, but also effectively responds to future challenges and changes and ensures the long-term healthy development of the network.

[0018] In summary, the present invention provides a new network architecture and operation model for AI services through decentralized methods and technological innovations, which is expected to solve many challenges faced by traditional centralized AI systems and promote the advancement and widespread application of AI technology.
