ObEN Donates $1M USD to Tsinghua University Blockchain Research Center
ObEN is pleased to announce we are partnering with Tsinghua University PBC School of Finance (PBCSF) to establish the Tsinghua Blockchain Research Center. As a proud advocate of the benefits of blockchain technology, ObEN will be donating $1 Million USD to the project to aid in blockchain research and exploration.
The Blockchain Research Center is designed to break new ground in the areas of education and research, especially as it pertains to the financial sector. The center aims to make PBCSF an incubator and knowledge center for the exploration of blockchain technology in China and beyond, supporting areas including academic study, technology innovation, use case exploration, and policy recommendation, in addition to cultivating new blockchain talent and forging meaningful partnerships within the blockchain industry. The Blockchain Research Center will also host conferences and summits annually to connect key players within industry, government, and research with the aim to become an international knowledge hub for blockchain.
Tsinghua University is China’s leading research university, ranking as the top engineering and computer science university worldwide. Tsinghua PBCSF, also known as the Wudaokou School of Finance, is already home to some of Asia’s leading financial researchers and analysts, and has long acted as a think tank and incubator for China’s top financial institutions. PBCSF also previously served as the graduate school of The People’s Bank of China. Together with Tencent, Gao Rong Venture Capital and more, the partners in this project have collectively pledged $5 million USD over the next five years to support this research center.
Blockchain is a core component of our AI technology, which utilizes advanced machine learning technology to allow users to create their own Personal AI (PAI) with just a selfie and brief voice recording. PAIs are intelligent 3D avatars that look, talk, and even sing like the user and can serve numerous functions as digital representatives for the user. In an effort to maintain security and data sovereignty for the individual, ObEN has elected to secure all PAIs and the associated user data on the Project PAI Blockchain. In this way, we hope to promote the creation of a new digital economy centered around use of PAI-based applications. PAIYO, our first application on the PAI Blockchain, is scheduled for release later this year. You can sign up for the beta at paiyo.com.
