In 2024, Dominic demonstrated two neural networks being run as smart contracts (network-resident software), one doing image classification, and the other facial recognition. DFINITY is working on further enhancements to the ICP protocol that will soon make it possible to run sizeable LLMs fully onchain, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with blockchain further (to date, no other blockchain has managed to run AI models on chain, although the “onchain” terminology is sometimes misused to express than an associated token has been created). However, an equally important advance is in the wings: AI has become very good at writing code, and these capabilities are continuously improving, however, enabling AI to spin up and update web applications and internet services solo is an altogether harder task due to various challenges. ICP technology is being developed specifically to provide a platform that enables AI to build solo, with the aim of creating a new decentralized technology platform, where anyone can create through chat, and then owns the code and data. This advance has been in the works for some time, with releases expected early in the New Year, and is eagerly anticipated by the ICP community.
