0G and Nanyang Technological University jointly invested 5 million Singapore dollars to establish a decentralized AI research center

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore and decentralized AI infrastructure company Zero Gravity (0G) announced a joint investment of 5 million Singapore dollars to establish a decentralized AI technology research center, aimed at promoting blockchain-based artificial intelligence innovation and creating more transparent, secure, and verifiable AI systems.

This is 0G's first collaboration with global universities, focusing on research areas including decentralized AI training, blockchain-integrated model alignment, and useful proof of work (PoUW) consensus mechanisms. The research center will support developers, institutions, and communities to participate in verification and auditing through an open ecosystem, promoting AI from closed to open and transparent.

The project will last for four years and will include workshops, hackathons, student scholarships, and open-source projects, with the first proof-of-concept results expected to be launched within two years, applicable to fields such as finance, healthcare, and smart infrastructure. Previously, 0G secured over 325 million dollars in funding commitments, including a 40 million dollar seed round led by Hack VC.
