Dr Ben Goertzel, CEO at SingularityNET: “The scale of Ping An provides considerable opportunities to showcase the benefits of AI application. We are currently discussing how to integrate SingularityNET infrastructure with Ping An’s IT infrastructure in order to analyse the different types of data available. With our new collaboration with Enexis Netbeheer’s Nature 2.0 initiative we will apply our unique decentralized AI framework and tools together with their capabilities to work toward affordable and sustainable energy for all. Unlike the corporate tech giants, SingularityNET has an explicit goal of applying and advancing AI for the good of all humanity, and this includes leveraging its decentralized AI network to optimize the world’s AI infrastructure, not just for large corporations but for everyone”.
