SingularityNET x Privado ID: Making AI Trustworthy with Decentralized Identity
Artificial Intelligence is on the verge of something massive. AI agents are evolving beyond tools that assist only humans, they are starting to collaborate, negotiate, and make autonomous decisions. But there's still a big unsolved problem: trust.
Right now, anyone can create a new AI agent, but how do we know if this AI is safe, unbiased, or even ethical? There is still no standardized framework to verify its authenticity, reliability, or accountability.
That’s where SingularityNET and Privado ID step in, teaming up to solve this trust problem with a new partnership that brings decentralized identity to AI.
Why Does AI Need Identity?
AI has a credibility crisis. Fake AI agents can scam users, spread misinformation, or operate with hidden biases. Agents struggle to trust each other in open environments. On the other hand, no standardized verification exists to ensure AI follows ethical principles.
Right now, anyone can create an AI agent and claim it does whatever they want. There’s no easy way to verify if it’s legit, bias-free, or even safe. This makes AI a wild west, with no way to track who built an AI, what data it was trained on, or how it operates.
SingularityNET and Privado ID are launching the Decentralized AI Agent Trust Registry, a decentralized AI platform where agents have identities to verify their safety and fairness. Think of it as an "app store" for AI, but blockchain-powered, and owned by the community.
"What excites me most about this partnership is how it addresses a fundamental need for verifiable identities in the emerging AGI era. Our future won’t be defined solely by how AI communicates with humans, but by how AI systems interact seamlessly among themselves. By integrating Privado ID’s decentralized, privacy-first credentials into ASI:Create, we’re not just ensuring trust; we’re paving the way for a robust, autonomous network of AI agents."
—Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET
Decentralized Identities for Trust & Accountability
For AI to be truly autonomous, it must trust other agents before interacting with them. With decentralized identities, agents can gain this real credibility, making them trustworthy by design, without disclosing sensitive data.
Instead of AI simply claiming to be reliable, users and other agents can instantly verify its data onchain. This ensures agents are operating as intended, remaining accountable and not generating unexpected outputs.
Agents can now be accountable without relying on a central authority. Since these actions live on a blockchain, they can’t be faked, forged, or tampered with. Agents can work across different ecosystems and platforms, creating a network of AI that is transparent and decentralized.
This is paramount for an economy that will soon be powered by AI, where autonomous agents will trade, negotiate, and make decisions with minimal human oversight.
The Future of AI: The Agent-to-Agent Economy
Right now, most AI tools (like ChatGPT, Siri, or Midjourney) are designed to respond to humans. In the future, AI will collaborate, trade, and negotiate with each other autonomously, running businesses, making transactions, and creating decentralized organizations.
We’re entering the agent-to-agent economy, a world where AI agents don’t just serve humans, they also negotiate, collaborate, and make decisions together. But, as we have seen, for this AI-powered economy to work, AI Agents need to trust each other.
“This partnership with SingularityNET is a massive step toward a secure agent-to-agent economy. Assigning unique, verifiable identities to AI ensures trust and accountability in their interactions. Decentralized identifiers align with the ASI Innovation Stack’s vision of an open, interoperable AI ecosystem, reducing reliance on centralized authorities.”
— Sebastian Rodriguez, CPO of Privado ID
For that future to work, AI must be trustworthy. Privado ID’s decentralized identities provide the foundation for a new era of accountable AI.
