Europe is implementing a Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) as the backend infrastructure for AI applications.​ The EU Commission-backed BUILDCHAIN project demonstrates this approach in the construction sector, using DKG to create a trusted and intelligent system.​

Key developments:

  • AI serves as the user-facing frontend
  • DKG provides the decentralized backend infrastructure
  • Focus on efficiency, transparency, and sustainability
  • Construction sector serves as initial implementation

The approach combines artificial intelligence with decentralized data infrastructure, positioning Europe as an early adopter of this architectural model for AI systems.​
