Blockchain recordation and validation of video data

Abstract

A method of committing video data and associated metadata to a blockchain ledger includes preprocessing the video data, by a first computer processor, according to preprocessing parameters defined within a runtime configuration file, wherein the video data is preprocessed to edit the video data to be suitable for use by a first artificial intelligence model. The method also includes accessing the preprocessed video data and associated metadata by the first artificial intelligence model with the first artificial intelligence model being configured to determine a first output that is indicative of a first inference dependent upon the preprocessed video data, formulating first annotated video data and associated metadata by the first artificial intelligence model that includes the first output indicative of the first inference, and accessing the preprocessed video data and associated metadata by a blockchain subscriber independent from the first artificial intelligence model. In response to a determination by the first artificial intelligence model that the first inference has occurred so as to prompt the formulation of the first output, the method includes committing a first entry to the blockchain ledger that includes the first annotated video data, metadata associated with the first annotated video data, the preprocessed video data, and metadata associated with the preprocessed video data.
