Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.
  • The price of the Aptos blockchain token APT increased by 18% post-announcement.
  • Aptos Labs will provide Microsoft with verified blockchain data for AI model training.

To deepen its artificial intelligence (AI) efforts and enter the web3 market, Microsoft has partnered with blockchain platform Aptos Labs. The latter will provide Microsoft with verified blockchain data for AI model training and will operate validator nodes on the Azure cloud. The parties involved hope that by using blockchain technology, they can increase the trustworthiness, consistency, and openness of data created by AI.

Aptos Labs’ chief executive officer, Mo Shaikh, said the collaboration’s main goal is to solve problems that both companies face in their respective fields. According to Microsoft’s Global Director of Business Development for AI and web3, Daniel An, AI integration into web3 applications will become more common in the next months and years.

Rise in Demand for Quality-data

Moreover, the price of the Aptos blockchain token APT increased by 18% immediately after the announcement. However, after a brief pullback, it is now trading at $7.33 as per data from CMC.

Furthermore, the demand for auditable and verifiable AI-generated information is on the rise, and blockchain technology provides a way to address this problem. It promotes trustworthiness in a decentralized digital economy by highlighting the importance of blockchain in identifying data to its source and time-stamping.

According to Shaikh, blockchains work as markers for transparency and trust, while large language models (LLMs) function as strong content generators. Also, this combination increases trust in AI-created content and guarantees the ethical development of AI.

The high-throughput blockchain developed by Aptos Labs, which can process up to 160,000 transactions per second, is a promising option for AI development. Companies like Microsoft, which is developing AI-related goods and services, are attracted to the sector because of its quick settlement times and low costs.
