~ AI technology accessible to everyone ~
BLOCKSMITH&Co. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Tetsuya Sanada; hereinafter "BLOCKSMITH") announces the establishment of the BLOCKSMITH AI Lab on April 11, 2023, which aims to make AI technology accessible to everyone.
Background
Due to the remarkable evolution and high practicality of generative AI, the interest for the technology has rapidly spread to a wide audience. However, the discussion of generative AI technology has thus far been mostly focused on increasing business efficiency; i.e. cost reduction, and have garnered negative opinions such as fear of AI replacing jobs traditionally done by humans.
At BLOCKSMITH AI Lab, we aim to create opportunities to engage in AI technology by combining Web3 technology with Generative AI, and reduce negative misconception around the technology.
Our research goal
The research goal of BLOCKSMITH AI Lab is to create practical use cases for AI application with user-friendly UI/UX that anyone can use.
We will focus on research and development of AI application layer, and aim to make AI technology more accessible to people by combining large-scale language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 with generative AI such as DALL-E2, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and utilising fine-tuning and prompt engineering.
Plans to incorporate AI research
We are also planning to incorporate the results of BLOCKSMITH AI Lab's research in our recently announced upcoming game service "Quiz to Earn 'QAQA'".
