Leaders: Decentralized AI, the Perfect Symbiosis Between AI & Blockchain

Did you know about… Elon Musk’s Grok 1.5 Vision New Model & The New Unexpected King of AI Music?

🥇 This week on Leaders… 🥇

While there’s a lot to celebrate with the amazing progress being made in the AI space, one trend keeps getting worse.

AI is gradually becoming less open and more suited for a couple of incumbents to accrue trillions of dollars in value leaving only but the crumbs for the rest.

Hence, Decentralized AI is one of the last bastions where the open community may be capable of holding its ground. Thus, even though you may be skeptical right now, I can guarantee you that blockchains hold immense, non-speculative value for AI, a value you simply cannot disregard.

I am not a financial advisor, hence I have purposely avoided mentioning any single cryptocurrency in this post, as I want to convey the importance of the underlying technology, not any single crypto in particular.

The Increasing Dangers of Centralized AI

When even King Charles III of England describes AI as “one of the greatest leaps in human history”, you know things are for real.

Heck, he even compared it to the “harnessing of fire”, which is a hell of a statement if you ask me.

Hype aside, the potential for AI to disrupt everything is unlimited.

And no, I am not referring to AI as a productivity booster, which is undoubtedly the first hill it will conquer, or as the brain of the humanoids that will one day inhabit our world, but also about AI’s potential as a ‘discovery tool’.

From Halicin and CRISPR to Maths

For starters, AI is already playing an increasingly vital role in healthcare. For instance, back in 2019, it helped humanity discover a new antibiotic, halicin.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. As covered by GEN, AI’s role in drug discovery is already invaluable in detecting key patterns that are otherwise oblivious to us.

Also, as recently covered in a previous Leaders segment, EVO, a biological foundational model for DNA, is showing great promise in uncovering the secrets of the human genome, and has even shown potential in supporting the creation of novel gene-editing CRISPR systems that can help engineer future human generations to being more resistant to illness, or even to climate change.

Through the use of semantic spaces, AI is also helping us discover new emotions, breaking from the theories that have shaped our understanding for decades.

What’s more, semantic space theory is also helping us create odor maps to create new smells that help us protect our crops from insects, among other exciting new possibilities acknowledged by the Melinda & Gates Foundation.

Still, as I said earlier, AI is ubiquitous, and it’s also helping us reach new heights in maths,…
