Lightchain AI is a decentralized platform that seamlessly integrates artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology. It introduces the Artificial Intelligence Virtual Machine (AIVM) to optimize the execution of AI-specific tasks and the Proof of Intelligence (PoI) consensus mechanism to reward meaningful computational contributions. These innovations address critical challenges in AI and blockchain, such as scalability, privacy, and trust. Lightchain AI provides an equitable, efficient, and privacy-preserving ecosystem for developers and participants. By combining blockchain’s transparency with AI’s computational power, it enables decentralized applications (dApps) that handle real-world challenges in an inclusive, secure, and scalable manner.
