Join us for an meetup exploring White Marble Syndicate (whitemarble.ai), a new experiment at the intersection of Classical Scholarship, AI, and Blockchain Governance. White Marble is building a decentralized library DAO that curates Greek and Latin texts, translations, and commentaries, while integrating a private AI model trained on Classical sources. The result is a unique approach to reducing hallucination and bias in AI tools by grounding responses directly in the original materials.

Neal Davis, a developer on the project, will lead the discussion on how it works, how token-based governance can identify membership and support project goals, as well as what opportunities exist for researchers, educators, and technologists interested in decentralized knowledge infrastructures. We’ll also consider how models like White Marble can inform the broader evolution of DAOs and open cultural preservation.

Whether you’re a blockchain enthusiast, a DAO builder, an AI developer, or a lover of the humanities, you’ll find this a fascinating look at how decentralized technology can serve the preservation and expansion of human knowledge.

We will meet in the Enterprise Works building of the Research Park where there is open parking for guests and a CUMTD bus stop. Please RSVP so we know how many to expect, as lunch will be provided!
