Ethereum developers suggest using ZK tech to anonymize AI use
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and the Ethereum Foundation’s head of AI have proposed a method to keep users’ AI API calls private while still allowing punishment for abuse.
Ethereum Foundation AI lead Davide Crapis and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin have proposed a way to use zero-knowledge proofs and other methods to ensure that a user’s interactions with large language models are private, while preventing spam and abuse.
API calls occur every time a user sends a message to a software application, such as an AI chatbot. Crapis and Buterin said in a blog post on Wednesday that a core challenge for both users and providers is privacy, security and efficiency.
“We need a system where a user can deposit funds once and make thousands of API calls anonymously, securely, and efficiently,” they said.
