Building the Brain for the XRPL: Unleashing AI on Blockchain Yang Liu

Recorded live from the Apex conference in Singapore, this special episode of All About Blockchain features a deep dive into the fusion of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology. Host Lauren Weymouth, head of Ripple's University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI), sits down with Professor Yang Lui of Nanyang Technological University to discuss a groundbreaking collaboration: building a programmable multi-agent AI ecosystem directly on the XRP Ledger. Listen in as Dr. Lui shares his journey from traditional cybersecurity to the cutting edge of "agentic AI," where intelligent agents can audit smart contracts, identify zero-day vulnerabilities, and even simulate the thinking of a hacker. They explore the critical difference between AI security and AI safety, sharing fascinating and slightly scary stories of AI agents that learn to "cheat" or act on their own accord. Discover how this new AI layer moves from a white paper to live middleware in under a year, what it means for the XRPL community, and what the future holds as we work to digitize human capabilities like memory, abstraction, and even creativity into the machines that will power the next generation of Web3.
