Although there is no official plan for AI integration from the Dusk Foundation, based on the Dusk Network's technology structure and industry developments, the following are potential ways AI integration could be implemented, along with example use cases:
Potential Integration of AI with Dusk Network Privacy Technology
Dusk Network has a three-layer architecture with the Hedger privacy module utilizing zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and homomorphic encryption. To integrate AI while maintaining privacy, inspiration can be drawn from approaches such as those used in Secret Network, which employs a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE):
- Encrypted Data Processing: AI models can run in secure environments (TEE) or use Dusk's homomorphic encryption, ensuring that data used for training or inference remains encrypted and inaccessible to third parties.
- Verifying AI Models with ZKPs: The output from an AI model can be verified using zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring that the AI process operates according to rules without revealing any details of the data or model parameters.
- Smart Contracts for AI Management: Smart contracts on the Dusk VM can manage access to AI models, pay usage fees, and store transaction records related to AI, while preserving user metadata privacy.
Potential Financial Applications of AI and Dusk Network Integration
1. Fraud Detection and Risk Analysis: AI can analyze encrypted transaction patterns to detect suspicious activities or assess credit risk, without exposing user identities or financial details.
2. Secure Automated Trading: Similar to AI-powered trading bots on Vestinda, but with stronger privacy—trading strategies and user portfolio data remain protected, while transaction execution remains regulatory-compliant.
3. Intelligent Digital Asset Management: AI can provide personalized investment recommendations based on user risk profiles securely stored on the Dusk Network, and automatically manage tokenized portfolios (such as stocks or bonds).
4. Regulatory Compliance Automation: AI can automate audit and reporting processes by identifying information that must be disclosed to authorities under regulations like MIFID II or MICA, without leaking other sensitive data.
Possible Implementation Examples
If the Dusk Foundation develops an AI SDK similar to Secret Network, developers could build applications such as:
- Personal Financial Planning Applications: Using AI to analyze encrypted spending and income, providing savings or investment advice without revealing users' financial details.
- Asset Tokenization Platform with AI Valuation: AI can automatically assess the value of real-world assets (such as real estate or commodities) using verified data from Chainlink oracles, with valuation results protected by Dusk's privacy features.
