Two papers to read (there are talks online from the same Simons symposium that Goldwasser gave that talk at): 1. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-68391-6_10 2. https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.5555/3737916.3738568 [Also will have a ZK podcast episode that I cohosted on this soon!]

The interesting thing about watermarks (and sort of why they are a "weak" version of ZK and/or IO) is there's no "PCP theorem" for them in the sense that you have to make extra assumptions for them to work (e.g. min entropy of output, cross entropy / correlation lower bound) that restrict the instances they work on

Yeah so that paper shows you can't make them fully removable to PPT adversaries; on the other hand, the recent coding theory watermarks have ZK-like guarantees conditional on the entropy of the output; this is like an "instance-based" backdoor through the watermarks in the sand paper of Barak, et. al

Yeah but that feels more like a "tool call improvement due to ZK" than an "AI model improvement due to ZK"

I don't see how ZK TLS changes AI models / model development though; it seems useful as a tool call but doesn't impact how models are built (vs. watermarks)

I've been more interested in watermarking — which is encoding patterns in the randomness used to sample an LLM output so you can detect it is from a model not a human; it is sort of like a "weaker" ZK

AI watermarking shares a lot of overlap with ZK! Upcoming ZK Podcast on this soon™️

“ZK will be more useful in AI than crypto” — something I didn’t really believe until recently But it will be used in ways people didn’t predict (not zkml or identity)

I wrote this note in 2022 showing that a lot of airdrops are sort of exotic options that auto exercise at random stopping times: https://gauntlet.network/reports/retroairdrop

Wow, amazing episode. Apollo has $750 billion AUM. Now they’re moving onchain. Finally got Apollo partner and head of digital assets on Empire to discuss their new onchain credit fund and crypto journey. If you’re building or investing in RWAs, this pod with @christinemoy, @pinged, and Carlos Domingo is a must listen.
