Almost one year ago, I wrote an article to invite Coindesk 10 ways that can make Crypto and AI each other better (or perhaps worse). At that time, the idea of ”Crypto + Ai” was still a new concept. Even margin. For many, I felt the development of neighboring artificial intelligence – at best – for the world of web3. For others, “Crypto + Ai” hair as a satirical mixture of two directions, such as VC Mad Libs.
Flash forward one year.
It can be said that the decentralized AI is the hottest in the Web3 space. Dozens of projects – perhaps hundreds, are difficult to track – are now racing to integrate Blockchain tools while taming artificial intelligence. The space is prosperous. By the time you finish reading this article, another DePin will start. Architects in this movement in Austin, to consensus 2024, are approaching the opening of Coindsk.You are the top(I will run some bias: I have helped organize the event and will host on May 31.)
Why does this happen, and why does it matter?
You can say that the risks of decentralized artificial intelligence are higher than decentralized financing classes. In some respects the principles are the same. Satoshi Nakamoto was cautious about the central financial institutions that spent badly and endangering people’s money. When artificial intelligence becomes more part of our lives – which is inevitable – it will have the ability to form how we see the world, how we interact with the world, and how we offer the world. It can be how we think. Should this be controlled by billionaire de Ourea?
Let’s take a look at two concrete examples, one of which is clear and direct. The following boundaries of Gen AI are likely to appear Artificial intelligence agentsWhich can do things like reserving your journey, paying your phone bill, or investing your money in the stocks. (“Siri, continue and put $ 1,000 in S&P.”)
Do we want to control large technology not only our data, but also what we do with?
More shredded: It is likely that millions of people are likely to use artificial intelligence – perhaps through sound or even video – as coaches or even therapists. Early versions here now. (On my podcast AI-CuriousFor example, I He had an interview with a coach for a long time Which works with the German Research Center to develop personal intelligence -based personal training. It is coming. It is inevitable) Do we want these slides and piece by Zuckerberg and its partners? The decentralized Blockchain technology and the maintenance of privacy can give us the fruits of artificial intelligence without the poison of large technology.
These are the decentralized Amnesty International. These are covered topics in You are the top. (Or some topics. Others include how Blockchain can help us maintain the truth in the DeepFakes era, combat control, make “AI account” more comprehensive, bias in fighting, leading to the alignment of artificial intelligence, etc..)
While an explosion of Crypto AI + projects has been launched since 2022, some of which have been present for years and were quietly built. one The unique networkIt was founded in 2017 by Ben Goertzel, a prominent researcher of artificial intelligence, with an early vision to build decentralized AI. Goertzel recently told me in the city of Panama, “My primary vision of what is Singularity in 95 or 96, when the Internet became something.” Artificial Intelligence Conference It is hosted by exclusivity. “It seemed to me, the Internet should not be central. The Internet is a central network. Why do you want to get a central search service?” The seeds of this idea included artificial intelligence (which he studied since the eighties), and Goertzel contains receipts: Book 2001 “Create Internet intelligenceThis merges all these concepts.
Goertzel will share his ideas on how to withdraw this vision at the height of artificial intelligence, along with other pioneers trying to get out of plumbing, tubes, and decentralized artificial intelligence protocols. This leads us to DePin (or decentralized physical infrastructure networks), where societies of the distinguished symbol are motivated to participate in building services online.
For example, Gensyn builds a decentralized network that allows the powerless computing power of individual users (like you and millions) to train artificial intelligence data, which is La Filecoin for cloud storage. “We are a kind of running for places to build huge data centers,” Ben Jinsin Bin Fielding He told me Last year, before this became a modern topic. If Ginsen pulled this, Fielding says: “You don’t just have one large data center. Now you have every data center on this planet.” (((Field It will also take the theater at the height of artificial intelligence, along with DePin iotex project heads and grass.)
While many Web3+AI projects are infrastructure plays, there are now attempts to build decentralized Genai models compete directly with Openais in the world. This is what makes us to another example on the coding space-AII, Eric Faris, which is Bitcoin Og who supported Murvius (the decentralized and open from the sources) and recently announced its launch Venetian.
On Twitter/x, voorhees theme Argue Venice is similar to the Chatbots Chatbots like ChatgPT and CLAUDE and even Grok, but “without all the things Orwellian” and that “the gun is not spying on you”, “Venice does not monitor your conversation”, and “Venice does not do it” T -injection, safety or advertising Political. “Just 10 days later, he showed that at work He said“There are no ads in Rifle You will get the same answer as Msftcopilot. “The shots were launched.
Furis and Venice are just some players in this space. There is an infinite number. Every day there is a new launch or new partnerships. Only in the past few days, for example, AI Al -Khadiya has announced a partnership with Filecoin, as Twitter/x post He explained that “Felicoin will provide an invisible storage for artificial intelligence models, while eternal artificial intelligence, with its network of artificial intelligence factors, will provide decentralization.”
Some of these projects are many Web3/AI projects in the early stages of thinking – more than just a concept, capital and chutzpah – but some have legs and get traction. Take Rijov (Part of the Serntuitynet), which uses Blockchain (and RJV, the distinctive symbol) to motivate and reward people to share privacy reserved health data, which aims to create a comprehensive data set that can be analyzed by artificial intelligence, as well as Hyper-directions and personal health diagnoses. “We are building a health and wellness economy for the longevity about the distinguished symbol of RJV, decentralization and democratic character to reach these advanced technologies,” says CEO Yasmine Smith. This is after the board stage. Smith says 2000 tests contributed to the release of beta; She expects to be launched at the application store soon.
One of the reasons why all these projects are very prevalent? To be sarcastic for a moment, for sure, there is heat in space and VCS like heat. (Do not hurt the return of the bull’s encryption market.) But another reason is that, to some extent, there are no other options. There are not many central intelligence players. The costs are amazing so that only a handful can play on the table.
Energy concentration [of AI] Nathaniel and Whitimore, also known as NLW, the host of the founder of artificial intelligence, the founder of Ai Daily Brief and the founder of AI BesuperaiWhich hosts the Amnesty International town hall in consensus. “A greater focus leads to a more feeling of the need for decentralized approach.”
None of this will happen overnight. In some respects, everything is still long. We need the smartest people in space for cooperation, controversy, and exchange of ideas and inspiration. We need the top of artificial intelligence.
