This podcast episode delves into the intersection of zero-knowledge proofs (zk) and machine learning (ml), exploring the possibilities of zkml in unlocking the potential of AI in smart contracts and dApps. The speakers emphasize the transformative impact of Nova, a new method for creating cryptographic proofs that significantly enhances efficiency and accessibility. They discuss the future of zk-rollups, highlighting key improvements such as decentralized proving, increased gas limits, and hardware acceleration. Through advancements in SNARKs and the Nova technology, zkml promises to revolutionize industries beyond blockchain by enabling verifiable computations and reducing reliance on trusted third parties.
