NEAR Protocol began as an AI startup, not a blockchain. Illia Polosukhin and Alex Skidanov initially set out to build AI that could teach computers to code, but found global payment systems inadequate. This led them to build a new blockchain to solve those issues. Illia is also one of the eight co-authors of the seminal 'Attention Is All You Need' paper that laid the foundation for modern AI.

Illia Polosukhin is one of the eight Google researchers who authored the 2017 'Attention Is All You Need' research paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture—the foundation for ChatGPT, Gemini, and nearly all modern AI. He built the AI that changed the world, and then built the blockchain to support that AI.
