#10 Untangling: AI (part 2)

Welcome back to the second part of the two-part series of Untangling AI episodes, where hosts Alec and Jack continue their exploration of the intersection between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Web3 technology. In this episode, they delve into the transformative world of AI and how Web3 can ensure and even empower its safe evolution.

We begin our discussion with some of the dangers associated with AI, as highlighted by Geoffrey Hinton (the Godfather of AI), exploring concerns regarding AI abuse, malicious use, "technological unemployment," and the potential risks of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Moving on to the intersection of Web3 and AI, Alec and Jack highlight how AI can use cryptocurrency to purchase goods and services autonomously, thanks to the capabilities of Web3's decentralized financial systems. Our hosts emphasize the role of micropayments in funding AI services, providing incentives for ethical AI use, and revolutionizing the way AI is monetized and utilized.

In the context of AI explainability, Alec and Jack discuss how Web3 can ensure good or transparent data sets and models, preventing data poisoning and biased AI outcomes. They showcase the transformative potential of AI in content generation, underlining how bots belong to the Web2 era, whereas AI in Web3 can create useful and authentic content, empowered by decentralized identity (DID) and authenticity.

An exciting use case of AI is explored, where AI is trained on data that does not reveal any privacy-sensitive information for healthcare applications. Together, we dive deeper into the groundbreaking potential of AI in medical diagnoses, exemplified by IBM Watson's NLP technology, and emphasize the crucial role of Web3 in maintaining privacy, security, and data control in AI-powered healthcare systems.

The episode concludes with an optimistic vision of the future, where Web3 and AI collaborate to create a more inclusive and empowering technological landscape. Alec and Jack leave the audience with a sense of hope and excitement for the potential of Web3 and AI to shape a brighter and more promising future for society.

Tune in to this second part of the Untangling AI episode to discover the power of Web3 in securing AI, and the transformative possibilities that lie at the intersection of AI and Web3. Witness the birth of a revolutionary era, where AI's immense capabilities are harnessed responsibly and ethically within the decentralized Web3 environment, paving the way for a future of innovation and empowerment.
