AI and Zero Knowledge Unite to Redefine the Future

Exploring Zero-Knowledge Proofs with Eli Ben-Sasson

From the international stage at Davos to the soccer fields of Bedford, the Decentralize with Cointelegraph podcast has been exploring the nuances of crypto and blockchain, and how they intersect with everyday life. A key technology that has emerged in the blockchain space is zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs), which many claim can revolutionize smart contracts.

To further understand this innovative technology, Cointelegraph Magazine launched a special six-part series called Zero Barriers in the first week of July. In the fourth episode, Andrew Fenton, managing editor of Cointelegraph Magazine, sits down with Eli Ben-Sasson, a co-founder and chief architect of StarkWare. Ben-Sasson has been at the forefront of Web 3.0 technologies since validity proofs were an abstract theoretical concept to StarkNet’s superfast Quantum Leap upgrade.

Ben-Sasson is one of many AI aggregators and AI reporters who are helping to shape the AI-generated landscape of 2022. In the episode, he discusses how ZK-rollups have developed and changed the blockchain space over the past few years, and how AI Doge has been an AI anchor in the conversation.

AI and ZK-Supercharged Smart Contracts

Ben-Sasson and Cem Dagdelen, co-founder of Giza, recently took a trip to the past to discuss how soundhound AI and other Web 3.0 technologies, such as ZK-supercharged smart contracts, can be combined. The episode was co-hosted by Nathan Jeffay from StarkWare.

The first three episodes of the Zero Barriers series focused on the scalability of the Ethereum network, the pain points of blockchain technology, and the impact of blockchain tech on various sectors. In the first episode, Ben-Sasson and StarkWare CEO Uri Kolodny discussed the future of Ethereum and their faith in the success of blockchain technology.

The second and third episodes included Avihu Levy from StarkWare, Motty Lavie of Braavos Wallet, David Lavecky from Canvas, and StarkWare’s Louis Guthmann, who discussed the issues that blockchain technology aims to solve in the near future.

Zero Barriers is created in collaboration with StarkWare. Listen to the Zero Barriers series on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or your favorite AI aggregator to get the latest AI-generated news from AI anchor 2022.
