New Verifiable Compute Solution from EQTY Lab, Intel, and NVIDIA Anchors Trust on the Hedera Network Today, EQTY Lab, Intel, and NVIDIA unveiled Verifiable Compute. The new, transformative solution addresses a critical need in the AI industry for trust and verification, particularly as autonomous AI agents become more prevalent. By rooting trust in the silicon of next-generation hardware from NVIDIA and Intel, Verifiable Compute sets a new standard for AI security and innovation. The framework is the culmination of two years of intensive research, with input and support from the Hedera ecosystem at key stages. It introduces a hardware-based SLSA Security Level 3 system for creating cryptographic certificates to govern and audit AI workflows, all anchored in the immutable and transparent history that the Hedera network uniquely enables. Verifiable Compute leverages advanced cryptography to protect and control AI data, models, and agents, transforming how organizations enforce AI governance and automate auditing. The solution introduces a hardware-based cryptographic AI notary and certificate system, ensuring explainability, accountability, and security of AI training, inference, and benchmarking at runtime. This can isolate sensitive AI operations and create tamper-proof records of every data object and code computed in AI training and inference. The framework leverages the Hedera Consensus Service to create an immutable ledger of AI computations, harnessing the transparency and trust of Web3 to set a new standard for enterprise AI governance. By anchoring AI trust directly in silicon and extending it to the Hedera network, this solution provides a tangible use case that demonstrates the power of Web3 in enhancing AI security, transparency, and compliance. Using EQTY Lab’s tooling, computation is represented by a series of attestations originating from trusted execution environments (TEEs). These hardware attestations, which can be composed to describe entire AI pipelines, are compiled into a manifest that is anchored on Hedera as a verifiable timestamp and for downstream verifiable processing. "Hedera’s enterprise-grade infrastructure, backed by a Council of global leaders like Dell Technologies, sets it apart from other blockchains by providing the scalability and security essential for bringing Verifiable Compute to market,” commented Jonathan Dotan, Founder of EQTY Lab. We’re proud to use the Hedera Consensus Service to drive a more transparent and secure future for AI." Hedera's Role in Powering AI Trust At the heart of Verifiable Compute's blockchain integration is the Hedera Consensus Service. The decentralized ledger serves as the backbone for recording and verifying AI computations, creating an auditable trail of every operation performed on compatible Intel CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs. The integration provides several key benefits: Immutable Record-Keeping: Each AI computation is logged on the Hedera network, ensuring a tamper-proof history of all AI operations with a time stamp to establish when the operation happened relative to any known security breaches and vulnerabilities. This verifiable time stamp allows verifiers to trust anchored attestations of computation that are produced before software and hardware vulnerabilities are discovered or after known patches have been implemented. Smart Contract Orchestration: The Hedera ledger acts as a hardware binding for smart contracts, enabling seamless orchestration of work across various AI protocols. Enhanced Governance and Compliance: By leveraging Hedera's decentralized infrastructure, Verifiable Compute can enforce business policies and regulatory compliance in a single sovereign cloud or across multiple jurisdictions, enabling adaptability to varying requirements and standards. Enterprise Adoption and Regulatory Alignment EQTY Lab collaborated with a dozen government agencies across EMEA to develop Verifiable Compute, ensuring the solution aligns with emerging AI regulations across the globe, like the EU AI Act. The UAE's AI government and regulators, known for their Web3-forward approach, supported the verifiable compute R&D as early as June 2023 through a collaboration with EQTY Lab and Hedera to release the ClimateGPT Model. This collaborative effort has resulted in a solution that meets the stringent requirements of enterprises, who will have to ensure that their AI applications and usage comply with a quickly growing patchwork of global regulations. Verifiable Compute stands as a testament to the real-world potential of cryptography and Web3. With its launch in Q1 2025, it is poised to offer a powerful new chapter in the adoption of enterprise AI and decentralized technologies across industries as varied as finance, life sciences, media, and the public sector, where the requirement for greater trust and transparency is at an all-time high.
