Decentralized AI Gains Popularity
67% of respondents asserted that centralized AI is likely more biased, while 63% believe it favors large tech companies rather than ordinary people. This highlights the growing interest in decentralized solutions that could reduce power concentration among a few major players.
Expert Opinions and Developments in Decentralized AI
Key industry players and experts emphasize the importance of decentralized AI. Chris Miglino, co-founder and CEO of DNA Fund, suggested that decentralized AI models might become more significant than Bitcoin. Additionally, Ben Goertzel, founder and CEO of SingularityNET, stresses that for artificial general intelligence to benefit humanity, it must be decentralized from the start.
Thus, the survey revealed that the majority of Americans support the idea of decentralized AI, indicating a high level of trust in this direction and its potential benefits for society.
