Cortex - AI on Blockchain：The Decentralized AI Autonomous System 44页

Abstract
In the current blockchain world, the chain of built-in Turing Complete smart contracts
is widely used, attracting a large number of application developers. However,
due to the high cost of over-idealized World Computer concept, smart contracts
limit their capabilities at design stage and do not fully exploit Turing Complete
immense computational potential. As a result, developers are limited to write
short programs and access only a very small amount of resources. While the proliferation
of common smart contracts depends on the performance gains of new
technologies, some extremely useful routines can be introduced ahead of time and
can be applied with reasonable optimization and hardware support. This article
describes a new public chain, Cortex. By revising and extending the instruction
set, Cortex adds AI algorithms support for smart contracts so that anyone can add
AI to their smart contracts. At the same time, Cortex has proposed an incentive
mechanism for collective collaboration that allows anyone to submit and optimize
models in Cortex, and the contributors to the models can be rewarded. Just as
what’s happening in some areas, thanks to Cortex’s openness and sharing features,
Cortex is set to create many models that transcend human capabilities. At the
same time, as a social experiment, we also look forward to the Artificial General
Intelligence (AGI) being born on the Cortex.
