There is a new crypto project that aims to build a decentralized network for trustless AI Output Verification. It is called Mira, it was launched last year, and it is still in the testnet phase.
The crypto network centered on AI of Mira
The project was initiated by three AI experts from Aroha Labs, Ninad Naik, Sidhartha Doddipalli, and Karan Sirdesai.
In particular, Ninad Naik has previously been the AI leader at Uber and Amazon, and at Mira he holds the position of Chief Product Officer. He has extensive experience in creating AI platforms.
At Uber, he led the development of the main market product for the company’s global food and grocery delivery business, while at Mira he leads product development and research to enable developers and companies to leverage artificial intelligence in new and impactful ways.
The mission of Mira is to build an open infrastructure for the supply chain AI.
The objective is to establish new standards for the way AI is developed, used, and maintained, with a particular focus on minimizing complexities for Web2 and Web3 developers.
The project is still in the development phase and is open to developers, creators, and researchers who want to explore the potential of its infrastructure and participate in the ecosystem.
How does the crypto network for AI by Mira work?
The starting point is the plausible AI output.
In fact, artificial intelligence often produces outputs that contain incorrect information due to the probabilistic nature of technologies based on neural networks.
The Mira Network aims to be a platform where the outputs generated by AI can be verified with decentralized consensus, that is, trustless.
In other words, instead of having to rely on verifiers that require placing their trust, the verifiers will be trustless, and the verification can be done by anyone without having to rely on anyone, except for the software of their platform.
And so the outputs of AI are transformed into statements that can be independently verified by the users themselves, also allowing different AI models to collectively determine the validity of each statement.
The node operators of the network who perform these inference-based verifications are economically incentivized through a hybrid Proof-of-Work/Proof-of-Stake mechanism, in order to induce them to conduct an honest verification.

The problem and the solution proposed by Mira
“`
Today’s AI systems excel at generating creative and plausible outputs, but they are not capable of providing error-free outputs in a verifiable and reliable manner.
Therefore, the verification currently requires human supervision, while the decentralized verification network
Mira wants to achieve the same result, if not better, with a new combination of content transformation and distributed consensus enabled by crypto-economic incentives. This should make manipulation both technically and economically impractical.
In addition to verification, the vision of the Mira project is to achieve a synthetic foundation model that integrates verification directly into the generation process.
Such a simplified approach would eliminate the distinction between generation and verification, providing output already free of errors.
Furthermore, by distributing the verification across a decentralized network of incentivized operators, an infrastructure is created that is inherently resistant to centralized control.
In the whitepaper they write:
“This represents a fundamental advancement: by allowing artificial intelligence systems to operate without human supervision, we lay the groundwork for a true artificial intelligence, a crucial step towards unlocking the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in society”.

The token of the Mira project

Currently, the Mira network is still in testnet. Therefore, since the mainnet does not yet exist, its cryptocurrency does not exist yet either.
Despite this, on the crypto markets there are already several tokens with this name or with this ticker, but they have nothing to do with the Mira Network project by Sirdesai, Doddipalli, and Naik.
At this moment, there is not even a public roadmap to know when it will be launched, even though the first phase of fundraising ended in July of last year with a collection of 9 million dollars.
The main investors are Bitkraft Ventures and Framework Ventures, but Accel, Mechanism Capital, Folius Ventures, and AJ Scaramucci’s SALT Fund also participated in the fundraising.
