OriginTrail Selected by Microsoft to Showcase AI Products at ChangeNOW Summit

Microsoft has announced the list of projects selected to showcase their cutting-edge AI innovations at the ChangeNOW Summit, a global event dedicated to sustainable development solutions. Among the honored names, OriginTrail stands out for its Decentralized Knowledge Graph technology, which helps expand access to artificial intelligence. The ChangeNOW Summit will take place in Paris from April 24 to 26 at the Grand Palais, where OriginTrail will present its advanced AI products. Not stopping there, OriginTrail has just announced a new investment from umanitek, opening up many opportunities for cooperation and development in the future.

A Golden Opportunity to Share Breakthrough Technology

The ChangeNOW conference is expected to attract over 40,000 delegates from around the world, including leaders, investors, and technology experts. Having the green light from Microsoft to demonstrate their technology at the event is a huge success for OriginTrail, as they have the opportunity to reach a wide audience beyond web3. This is a major step forward, helping OriginTrail promote the benefits that blockchain and AI can bring when intelligently combined.

OriginTrail has long been working on trusted knowledge sharing, supporting discovery and building trust in key industries such as supply chain and decentralized science (DeSci). At ChangeNOW, they will focus on how Decentralized Knowledge Graphs can help protect and disseminate scientific data in a trustworthy manner, while ensuring the exclusive value of data for researchers and organizations.

Strategic Investment from umanitek

In addition to the ChangeNOW event, OriginTrail also received another piece of good news when umanitek – a company specializing in internet safety – decided to invest in the project. umanitek focuses on fighting misinformation, intellectual property infringement, and harmful content on the internet. umanitek's president, Chris Rynning, asserted that OriginTrail's technology will play a key role in promoting transparency and trust in real-world assets.

One of the major concerns today is the rise of fake content, especially deepfakes and AI-generated misinformation. umanitek believes that the best way to combat these problems is to use "good" AI to control "bad" AI – and this is where OriginTrail can help. By providing knowledge verification technology, OriginTrail helps ensure data accuracy and transparency, minimizing the negative impact of unreliable information.

Building a More Trustworthy Internet

With the philosophy of “shared knowledge is power multiplied”, OriginTrail does not simply provide technology but also aims to build a more trustworthy internet ecosystem. Their technology is based on Knowledge Assets – valuable information that can be verified and used to serve the interests of individuals or organizations. This helps create an environment where information is rigorously verified, instead of relying on platforms that are easily manipulated by inauthentic content.

At the ChangeNOW conference, OriginTrail is likely to focus on the applications of technology in sustainable fields, rather than delving into the problem of fake news. One of the key highlights will be how they make scientific data more searchable and verifiable, thereby supporting the development of valuable research.

With a big stage at ChangeNOW, OriginTrail has the opportunity to not only showcase their technology, but also shape the future of AI and blockchain in real-world applications. When their development team takes the stage at the end of April, they will surely receive attention from global technology leaders and pioneers.
