Ethereum Foundation AI lead Davide Crapis and co-founder Vitalik Buterin propose a system using zero-knowledge proofs to ensure privacy in interactions with large language models and prevent spam.

With AI chatbot usage increasing, data leaks from large language models pose privacy and security risks. Crapis and Buterin offer a solution for providers and users to avoid identity-based access risks or slow, costly per-request payments. They propose a system where users deposit funds into a smart contract to make API calls without revealing identity.

To deter scammers, illegal content generation, and other violations, Crapis and Buterin suggest a dual-staking system. Users caught double-spending risk losing their deposit, which can be claimed by anyone. Violators lose their deposit to a burn address, and the slashing event is recorded on-chain. The model aims to maintain privacy while ensuring compliance.
