Toufi Saliba is the co-author of the TODA/IP protocol and currently serves as the Global Chair for International Protocols for AI Security for the IEEE which is the world's largest technical professional organisation dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of all humanity.
Toufi Saliba has a long history of building various AI projects, cryptography and cybersecurity centric, and he has experienced both failures and successes, with his first AI exit occurring in his early 20s in 2002 followed by several successes continuing through the subsequent two decades in October 2022, he took on the leadership of HyperCycle.ai where it grew from 500 licenses sold to over 280,000 in one year. In this first year of Toufi's leadership HyperCycle saw a valuation growth of over 60X, reaching a unicorn status in less than a year with still greater growth expected to come in the future.
Toufi continues to work tirelessly to foster collaboration across many nations and towards a secure and benevolent AI for the benefits of all humanity. Toufi Saliba is known for his critical analysis of AI projects, driven by his passion for the field and belief in cooperative efforts and security by construction. In 2013, he introduced Ai Decentralized to computing scientist groups, aiming to build awareness and resilience against internal attacks. His efforts gained traction when he presented to ACM in 2016 and subsequently to the world in 2017.
He has collaborated with notable figures like Ben Goertzel on various initiatives and, no matter whether they succeeded or failed, they all contributed to actionable, self-sustaining, and profitable initiatives serving the global AI community.
In 2021, he posed a thought-provoking question about the global race towards AGI at the global AGI summit. This led to the decision to build an AI brain on the Toda/IP protocol, an initiative he chose to lead. In October 2022, HyperCycle was launched, focusing on customers who recognize the power of cooperative intelligence. The business model is B2B, with zero transaction fees and 1% on royalties. To date, over 400,000 licenses have been sold, and a token sale was initiated with 60 months tokenomics.
