Unpacking The Potential for Humanity’s First Blind Computer with Nillion

We live in a world where we hear that privacy is important, but the truth is, most of us do not enjoy that privilege. Our data has been leaked countless times or we’ve willingly submitted it to Google, Facebook, OpenAI, and others so we can access “free” apps.

In this new Edge Podcast, we discuss a new promising potential for what’s being called "humanity's first blind computer.” Nillion is a secure computation network that decentralizes trust for high value data in the same way that blockchains decentralized transactions.

Now wtf does all that mean? And what use cases and applications could be impacted by Nillion in both Web2 and Web3, including decentralized AI? Miguel de Vega unpacks how they address the challenges of handling high value data, by leveraging privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) to enable users to securely store data on a peer-to-peer network, and allow for computations to be executed on the masked data, without the traditional need to decrypt data ahead of computation.

This was a conversation a bit outside our typical comfort zone but it’s very complementary to further advancing the adoption of onchain finance and AI!
