AI pedigree verification platform using blockchain

Abstract

In order for AI to be accepted by society and become a social infrastructure technology, the ethical aspect of AI is also important in addition to the technical aspect of AI. This paper proposes “AI pedigree verification platform” to verify “what kind of data is used to train the AI model at hand”. Building such the system using an existing database system is problematic in terms of system availability and integrity of the registration content. Therefore, we constructed the proposed system using Hyperledger Fabric (HF), which is a blockchain infrastructure. In this way, the proposed system can ensure the availability of the system and the integrity of the registration content. To ensure the reproducibility of the AI model, the data items in the system were created based on the “Reproducibility list” proposed by authoritative society for AI. Since the integrity and reproducibility of the data in the blockchain can be ensured, this system enables automatic AI model generation using open data and automatic trading of AI models.
