The article explains that simply not using sensitive factors like race or sex in algorithms doesn't prevent them from being biased. Biases can still seep in through related data, like location or income, acting as proxies. While some countries, under laws like the GDPR, avoid collecting data on these sensitive factors, this doesn't truly solve bias; it just hides it because we can't measure it. The piece argues for stronger regulation and accountability, not just guidelines, to actively combat and correct biases in algorithms. It suggests a detailed auditing framework to ensure algorithms are fair and transparent. (the bots got confused so this is chatgpt generated).

PANAMA CITY, Panama, May 7th, 2024/Chainwire/--Silent Protocol, a forefront innovator in blockchain privacy technology, has announced the release of the Ghost Layer, a cutting-edge modular Layer 1.5 designed for the Ethereum ecosystem. This new solution is engineered to provide compliant privacy enhancements to public blockchains, suitable for both retail and institutional applications. The Ghost Layer is using a zero-knowledge (ZK) based system alongside its proprietary 0VM technology. These advancements allow for the private storage of assets and enable the omnidirectional flow of value across various blockchains. It facilitates the seamless integration of existing applications into private workflows through its ability to open access channels to different execution layers. The founder of Silent Protocol, Novachrono, explains the unique position of the Ghost Layer in the blockchain hierarchy: “If you create a ledger whose state is decided by the base ledger but the computation is stored elsewhere—you can call it a Layer 1.5.” This innovative positioning combines the robustness of base layer processing with enhanced privacy and interoperability functions. In 2023, Silent Protocol launched EZEE, addressing the challenge of state denial and introducing a fully composable architecture that supports functional privacy. This framework allows developers to build an ecosystem of applications without the constraints of isolated systems. Furthermore, Silent Protocol has developed the Silent Compliance VM, a decentralized protocol that selectively reveals data to prevent misuse by bad actors. Isa Sertkaya, Co-founder and CTO of Silent Protocol, emphasized the strategic advantage of the Ghost Layer: "Rooted out of Ethereum and supporting Ethereum assets, the Ghost Layer achieves modularity not by capturing value vertically but by enabling horizontal composability across different chains." The implementation of 0VM technology allows the Ghost Layer to advance the state of the system while verifying updates and utilizing the base ledger for state validation through zksnarks. This launch signifies Silent Protocol's commitment to building a compliant and composable framework that enables institutions to securely and privately leverage Ethereum. Developers across various blockchains will now have the opportunity to transform their existing applications into privacy-preserving applications, known as 0dapps while maintaining the liquidity available on the mainnet. About Silent Protocol Silent Protocol is a leader in blockchain privacy technology, dedicated to enhancing security and compliance in blockchain applications without sacrificing performance. Founded by a team of blockchain innovators, Silent Protocol develops scalable, privacy-centric frameworks like the EZEE framework and Silent Compliance VM. These tools empower developers and institutions to transform existing applications into secure, privacy-preserving platforms while fostering interoperability across different blockchain systems.

DOVER, DE, USA, May 7, 2024 — ChainGPT, the AI-powered Web3 infrastructure providing a diverse suite of tools and services, will exclusively launch the IDO of its latest launchpad project: OMNIA Protocol, a specialized RPC (remote procedure call) provider solving a wide range of challenges in DeFi relating to decentralization, security, compliance, and user experience. Set for May 9, OMNIA Protocol's IDO leverages the ChainGPT Pad and its incubation program to launch the $OMNIA token—supporting the wider blockchain ecosystem through a seamless interface combining decentralization, real-time pending transaction streams, liquidity aggregation, and more. As a premier decentralized fundraising and incubation platform for Web3 projects of all types, the ChainGPT Pad has been recognized as the most popular launchpad of 2023. The incubation program promotes emerging startups strategically hand-picked by ChainGPT based on their disruptive potential, transforming their ideas into viable business solutions. The program extensively assists in product development, smart contract implementation, and user engagement. Through expert mentorship and access to an extensive network of influential partners and investors, the ChainGPT Pad's incubation provides Web3 startups with the tools to navigate and thrive. OMNIA Protocol lays the foundation for state-of-the-art solutions to build on top of its infrastructure by leveraging the Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) to facilitate the private order flow of transactions. This allows OMNIA to not only guarantee front-running, or sandwich, attack protection but also opens the door for innovative business use cases leveraging good MEV (maximal extractable value), transaction bundles, and intent-based dApps to reduce transaction fees and potentially earn cash back on every DeFi trade a user executes. Furthermore, OMNIA plans to decentralize the node measurement process on top of EigenLayer by building a special-purpose Actively Validated Service (AVS) to facilitate transparent governance over node performance and integrity checks—all while tapping into billions of dollars as part of EigenLayer's TVL.  The OMNIA Protocol boasts several other key products geared toward fostering a more robust, secure, and decentralized blockchain environment, including: Robust RPC infrastructure: Provides the foundation for blockchain interactions with added features for security, compliance, and more.
