**The core problem with AI isn't the technology—it's the data.** Zeno Tosoni from H-Farm highlights a fundamental issue: AI systems can't be trusted when data ownership remains unclear. Most AI today runs on data that is: - Biased or unverified - Scraped without proper permission - Lacking transparent provenance **The solution isn't fixing AI models—it's fixing the input.** Some projects are addressing this through: - Real human verification of data - Quality-based incentive structures - Hybrid human-machine validation systems Before trusting any AI system, ask the critical question: *Where did the data come from?*

**OriginTrail is collaborating with GS1 standards to enable the intention economy** - a new paradigm where AI agents can make trusted decisions and transactions on behalf of users. The partnership leverages OriginTrail's Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) as a trusted memory layer that combines: - **Verifiable product data** from GS1 standards - **Consumer context and behavioral insights** This infrastructure allows AI agents to reason, transact, and act autonomously while maintaining trust and verification. The collaboration was showcased at the GS1 Global Forum 2025, where an AI agent demonstration highlighted how the system integrates consumer insights with standardized product information. The intention economy represents a shift from traditional search-based interactions to AI agents proactively fulfilling user needs based on verified data.

**Verigreen**, a DKG Global Hackathon winner, is tackling sustainability verification using blockchain infrastructure. The platform enables companies to create **audit-ready sustainability claims** with traceable, verifiable history. Built on **OriginTrail's Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG)**, it addresses growing regulatory requirements for environmental reporting. - Creates tamper-proof records of sustainability data - Designed to withstand regulatory scrutiny and audits - Leverages OriginTrail's DKG for verifiable tracking As environmental regulations tighten globally, solutions like Verigreen offer infrastructure for companies to prove their sustainability claims with cryptographic verification rather than traditional documentation alone.
