Key challenges to tackle:

• Data Provenance: In an era of AI-generated content, verifying data origins is crucial. Filecoin's immutable storage enables transparent data lineage tracking and verification of untampered LLM models.

• Data Sourcing: As high-quality user data becomes scarce, we need ethical collection solutions. Filecoin enables data marketplaces and DAOs that respect privacy, while incentivizing authentic contributions.

• Fair Attribution: AI's growth demands equitable compensation for data creators. Filecoin enables transparent value tracking and distribution through Data DAOs.

• Efficient AI: Generative AI’s growing demands for data and computing power raise serious environmental concerns. Filecoin's decentralized storage can enable efficient model training and deployment.

We're especially interested in projects that consider:

• Modular Architecture

• Interchain Interoperability

• Agentic Economy

Challenge Statements

Data Management & Privacy

• DataDAOs: Build a DataDAO platform for AI data commons to encourage federated learning

• Data accuracy: A platform that generates and validates synthetic data while incorporating authentic data benchmarks to maximize model accuracy and reliability

• Privacy-Preserving AI: Tools that prioritize privacy of sensitive data, including examples such as training LLMs on datasets with differential privacy, homomorphic encrypted computation, ZK proofs for model outputs and more.

Decentralized Computation

• Decentralized AI Infrastructure: Platform for decentralized AI computation with Filecoin data storage

• Decentralized AI Development SDK: Comprehensive SDK for integrating AI with Filecoin data storage

Efficiency

• Incentivizing efficient AI:
◦ Tokenized incentive system for optimized AI training and deployment on Filecoin
◦ Platform for launching AI data collection campaigns with verification mechanisms on Filecoin

• Interoperability:
◦ “Universal data connector” that enables seamless access to and integration of decentralized data on Filecoin and off-chain APIs. This connector should provide a standardized interface for querying, transforming, and preparing data for AI model training and inference.
◦ Develop a comprehensive, interoperable toolkit for building and deploying AI models in Web3, with decentralized data storage infrastructure on Filecoin.

Verifiability

• Verifiable & Reproducible AI:
◦ Tools for ensuring verifiability and reproducibility of AI model training
◦ System for recording the complete provenance of an AI model, from data collection and preprocessing to model training and deployment, using decentralized storage.

• Decentralized Model Repositories: Build a decentralized repository for storing and sharing AI models, with a built-in audit trail that tracks all changes and updates.

Real World Applications

• DeSci (Decentralized Science): AI for drug discovery, materials science, climate modeling, etc. These often involve large datasets and the need for collaboration.

• DeFi: AI-powered risk assessment, fraud detection, algorithmic trading, personalized financial advice.

• Metaverse/Gaming: AI agents, personalized avatars, dynamic content creation, in-game economies.
