LUCIA is an AI assistant, brought you by Pindora, empowered by Nillion.
In case you haven’t seen Interstellar. SPOILERS
Cooper has one final attempt to save humanity. His mission has brought him to the blackhole, Gargantua. He helps slingshot the spaceship Endurance to ensure Brand, who is onboard, can finish her mission. Cooper has to sacrifice himself and TARS – the robot assistant.
Endurance needs to shed as much mass as possible to continue its journey, Cooper needs to detach his ship and has to take the risk that potentially he can harvest quantum data in the blackhole and get it to Earth, if he does survive in Gargantua, TARS will be crucial to the mission.
The final dare brings Cooper into a Tesseract, one that shows him his daughter’s bedroom across time and he is floating behind a myriad of bookshelves looking in, seemingly powerless, trapped, observing past moments with regret.
Then a voice comes through. It is TARS. The robot survived and is communicating with Cooper, helping him comprehend the situation.
Cooper, being a human, is used to the third dimension. The Tesseract helps represents time as a physical dimension – fourth dimension comprehendible to the human mind. This is constructed by fifth dimensional beings.
As the fifth dimensional beings are not bound by time and space, it is hard for them to pinpoint a specific place in time and space. Cooper is tied to his family and his love for his daughter is the key to relaying the message from the fifth dimensional beings to the present, a message that will go on to save humanity.
However, Cooper cannot quantify and relay the quantum data in the blackhole to Murphy without the crucial help of TARS.
TARS is a sophisticated modular robot with advanced AI. TARS can process the sheer awe and mind-bending data in the blackhole, make it logical and compress it into a binary message that Cooper can relay in morse code to Murphy. Murphy decodes and unpacks the message, one that will go on to save humanity.
A fifth dimensional message is passed down to morse code.
What are these fifth dimensional beings? They are us.
Wolves can hunt vulnerable, isolated people.
Yet, dogs are invaluable to us. In terms of survival of the species, both dogs and humans were crucial to one another’s advancement. We helped each other hunt, eat, helped one another’s security, have heartfelt companionship, which help us live longer and have more fulfilled lives.
Augmented Intelligence should be an ally, not an enemy.
AI needs a privacy layer and we can then trust it, making further advancements with it.
Pindora are producing various products that help the advancement of utilising AI without our data being preyed upon by centralised forces. One of these products is LUCIA, an AI assistant.
Pindora is an early project built on Nillion. Nillion helps keep computation decentralised and blind, meaning data can remain encrypted and secure whilst also being verified to progress computations. If I was to ground it in an everyday scenario, you can confirm sensitive identification data for insurance without anyone able to see it.
AI agents are going to be a brilliant tool for many things. If we can utilise a personal AI assistant to help us on our tasks, we can see great progress in our endeavours. Yet, our most sensitive data can be siphoned and taking in directions that we are powerless to once we provide a centralised service with it.
Pindora’s Lucia is an AI assistant that keeps your data private, it is an ongoing conversation between yourself and Lucia. Lucia helps smooths the process of harvesting key information, saving time and helping your progress in your day-to-day, in your profession, in your studies, in errands.
Lucia learns, it will become more personalised over time the more you interact with. Let’s say you are involved in many chats and groups that revolve around research, perhaps you are a scientist or a trader or an amateur in any matter. Lucia will be able to alert you to important information, provide updates that you may have missed, highlight messages from people.
And another important factor. It will keep you safe.
It can sift out the spam and scams. It can tell if there is a malignant AI present. Lucia is a digital immune system.
Do not take this for granted. This AI epoch in the digital age is going to have spells of rapid progression after breakthroughs.
More science is going to be done in a short amount of time than any other point in history as AI speeds up research. This is an exponential increase in momentum. And Crypto is primed to service AI.
Blockchain, AI, privacy enables individuals, businesses and organisations to safely use Lucia and LLMs, allowing them to run sensitive data, streamlining the process to help in an ever-rapacious data environment, to push the boundaries of what is capable in the time that we have.
Without the encryption of our data from AI, we are vulnerable to the wolves. With encryption, AI assistants can provide us with a service, one as strong as dogs.
Allow me to dream for a moment. If we were to step foot on other planets, with dogs by our side, in order to traverse the gap, it will have been aided by AI, AI agents and AI assistants.
Our current AI agents are subject to their current digital ecology. Privacy of data is crucial. This then enables Lucia. Lucia then helps many people advance in various ways, which compounds and contributes back into society. Society progresses and science has breakthroughs. Not only improving Earth but also look to the stars.
Lucia. One step closer to TARS.
