DKGcon 2026 - Zurich Online Edition
Scaling Trust in the Age of AI
Can you trust AI? Wrong question. Can you verify it?
AI can now generate anything — which means we can trust almost nothing at face value. Deepfakes, fake news, synthetic identities, and confidently wrong machine answers are scaling faster than our ability to check them.
DKGcon 2026 is about the other side of this race: scaling trust as fast as AI scales content — streaming live from Zurich this Friday, 11 September, from 15:00 CEST.
After Amsterdam, New York, and Ljubljana, DKGcon comes to Switzerland. The Zurich Online Edition brings the OriginTrail ecosystem and the wider trust-in-AI community together for one focused afternoon — online, live, and free for everyone.
This year, two forces share the stage:
🔗 OriginTrail — the Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG): giving AI a memory it can prove, where every piece of knowledge carries its origin so agents and enterprises can reason on facts, not noise.
🛡️ Umanitek — making internet safety the standard in the age of AI: striking through harmful content, deepfakes, impersonation, and IP infringement — with forensically defensible evidence anchored on the DKG.
Together they close the loop: verifiable knowledge that AI can build on, and verifiable defense when AI is used to deceive.
Why join?
On the agenda
Scaling Trust in the Age of AI — why the fix has to be decentralized. Nobody should be the sole arbiter of what's real.
Information Integrity — impersonation at scale, synthetic media in real elections, and agents that anchor evidence so a takedown can be proven, not just claimed. Field reports, not forecasts.
Trusted AI in Regulated Industries — "the AI model said so" is not a defense. In law, life sciences, and the enterprise, every output needs a source, an audit trail, and a name on it.
Horizon of Trusted AI — the OriginTrail roadmap: knowledge that stays yours, inference that runs where your data lives.
Whether you build AI, defend against its misuse, or simply need machines you can trust, you'll leave knowing what verifiable AI looks like in production.
