Cardano Makes AI Progress With First Internet-Generative Chatbot

Cardano GPT, a project developing a suite of artificial intelligence-powered products on the Cardano blockchain, has successfully deployed the first internet-enabled generative chatbot (Girolamo) in beta testing.

Girolamo, named after the famed Italian mathematician and physician Girolamo Cardano, would supply answers to a wide range of topics, ranging from industry to day-to-day questions and inquiries. Users can also prompt Girolamo to generate and interpret images.

Cardano's foray into AI dates back to 2021, when Grace, the AI robot developed by Awakening Health, a joint venture between Hanson Robotics and SingularityNET, Cardano's blockchain partner, was unveiled.

The close integration of blockchain and AI remains at the forefront of the collaboration between SingularityNET and Cardano. As part of this tremendously important overall picture, the AGIX converter bridge was launched in the past year.

Highlighting an AI desire, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson made an open call to Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, for a potential collaboration. Hoskinson suggested the idea of a potential Cardano partner chain.
