Breakthroughs Using AI
Yale Engineering faculty and student entrepreneurs discuss their breakthrough inventions using AI, how they were able to accelerate their ideas, and lessons learned in the commercialization process.
Participating in the panel discussion:
- Ruzica Piskac, Associate Professor, Computer Science and Founder of ZK4ALL and Leibniz AI
- ZK4ALL works to establish a standard programming framework for working efficiently with cloud-ready zero-knowledge proofs. Leibniz AI, co-founded by Scott Shapiro, Charles F. Southmayd Professor of Law, develops reliable and trustworthy legal chatbots (“lawbots”) to assist with legal inquiries by implementing formal verification methods to validate the responses mathematically.
- Leandros Tassiulas, John C. Malone Professor of Electrical Engineering and project lead for Combining DEFI & AI for Intelligent Credit Scoring
- Combining DEFI & AI for Intelligent Credit Scoring is transforming the decentralized finance landscape and alleviating transaction risk via quantifying participant’s credit.
- Josh Beal, PhD student in the Yale Applied Cryptography Lab
- In collaboration with Ben Fisch, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Krania, Decentralized Machine Learning as a Service, was created. Krania is a system employing verifiable distributed computation to validate results and streamline efficiency, demonstrating the potential for secure, decentralized MLaaS (Decentralized Machine Learning as a Service).
