Ben Fielding Launches Gensyn’s Testnet for Decentralized AI Solutions
Ben Fielding, CEO of Gensyn, co-founded the company in 2020 to address compute constraints in AI development. His experience as a PhD researcher at Northumbria University highlighted the challenges posed by limited computational resources compared to tech giants like Google.
Key developments from Gensyn include:
- Launch of the “RL Swarms” protocol, enabling collaborative learning among AI models
- Introduction of blockchain integration with their Testnet for decentralized AI solutions
- Focus on three main infrastructure components: execution libraries, communication protocols, and verification mechanisms
Fielding emphasized that the blockchain enhances trust and identity among connected devices, allowing them to execute tasks reliably. This infrastructure aims to democratize access to machine learning technologies, reducing the barriers imposed by centralized AI companies.
Future plans involve expanding the blockchain’s role, including payment functionalities and establishing a decentralized identity system within the Gensyn ecosystem.
