Barco Jie You is Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Maggio Technologies, a Shanghai-based deep-tech company at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence with blockchain infrastructure. He received PhD degree in Computer Science from Heidelbery University in 2014. Under his technical leadership, Maggio Technologies has pioneered the convergence of AI agents and distributed ledger technology. In June 2026, the company open-sourced CurveTime, a production-ready blockchain framework that re-engineers Proof-of-Work as a reinforcement learning problem—transforming wasteful hash competition into useful AI computation. As Barco states: "We are committed to making every joule of computing power produce value." His research interests center on energy-efficient AI optimization, trustworthy multi-agent collaboration, and green computing infrastructure. He has championed the vision of "consensus-as-decision," where blockchain consensus and AI model training unify into a single computational process. This work directly addresses two of the defining challenges of our era: the unsustainable energy cost of artificial intelligence, and the lack of verifiable trust in multi-agent systems. Prior to founding Maggio Technologies, Barco's career spanned AI algorithm research, distributed systems engineering, and scientific inquiry into the thermodynamic foundations of machine learning. He is a corresponding author of peer-reviewed research published in Nature Scientific Reports, where his team introduced a thermodynamic natural gradient descent optimizer that reduces predicted training energy dissipation by 62%. At ISRAI2027, Barco will share insights on AI agents for real-world automation, swarm intelligence and multi-agent coordination, and climate-resilient AI—themes that resonate deeply with the summit's focus on embodied intelligence, edge AI, and sustainable intelligent systems. His talk will explore how rethinking the computational and consensus layers of AI can unlock a new generation of energy-aware, trustworthy autonomous systems for finance, manufacturing, and energy industries.
