Kisso Selvan - NEXUS Startup Competition Pitch #9: KRNL Labs - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025
Explore the innovative solutions addressing the AI trust crisis in this compelling pitch from Kisso Selvan of KRNL Labs at the NEXUS Startup Competition during TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025. KRNL Labs presents Open Box, a revolutionary product turning the opaque "black box" of AI systems into a transparent "open box". By leveraging blockchain technology, they ensure AI models adhere to emerging compliance standards, providing governance and accountability crucial under regulations like the EU AI Act.
Open Box's unique approach involves aggregating and standardizing logs from AI model training and data accrual, which are then hashed and stored on a blockchain ledger. This enables AI companies to meet compliance requirements seamlessly, while continuing to use established cloud providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure. Unlike existing solutions, KRNL Labs offers cryptographic verifiability covering the entire AI model lineage, essential for maintaining trust and preventing heavy financial penalties related to non-compliance.
Kisso also shares compelling case studies, including collaborations with a media company in India and a DPIN provider in Korea, demonstrating Open Box's potential to secure content traceability and boost revenue. KRNL Labs adopts a dual go-to-market strategy involving partnerships with cloud service marketplaces and collaboration with major consultancy firms, ensuring broad accessibility and expert endorsement of their solution.
