- Software has eaten the world; now artificial intelligence (AI) is eating software. Most of the AI of today however, appears to be developed and controlled by centralized Big Tech companies.
- Since Bitcoin launch in 2008, crypto technology has been paving the way for decentralized networks that could help to democratize AI.
- Decentralized AI (DeAI) goes beyond the AI agents currently swarming crypto Twitter, many of which rely on centralized Large Language Models (LLMs). The DeAI movement aims to build networks and infrastructure for creating AI models in a decentralized way.
- Layer 1 blockchains provide the essential infrastructure for implementing truly decentralized AI systems that can operate without centralized control.
- The convergence of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence creates new possibilities for democratized access to advanced AI capabilities and more equitable distribution of their benefits.
