Deep Dive: AI, Crypto and the Battle for your Mind

Decentral Lens

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Dr. G, a trailblazing AI expert who has masterfully transitioned into the world of cryptocurrency. Discover how his journey from crafting credit risk models led him to the revolutionary realm of blockchain and decentralized finance. From his first foray into the crypto boom of 2016-2017 to his vision of an inclusive financial system, Dr. G offers a unique perspective on the pressing challenges faced by traditional lending models, particularly for the underbanked and unbanked.
We dive deep into the commitment of tech giants like Apple to uphold privacy by running AI models on devices, scrutinizing the realities behind their claims. Our discussion contrasts the strategies of leading AI players: OpenAI's fruitful partnership with Microsoft, and Google's ongoing struggles with Bard and Gemini amid bureaucratic hurdles. With Dr. G's insights, we unravel the complexities of AI alignment, safety, and the implications of data access restrictions, shedding light on how these factors influence innovation and model performance.
The conversation broadens to explore the rapidly shifting landscape of AI safety and model competition, highlighting the emergence of XAI, Grok, and Anthropic. Dr. G delves into Facebook's decentralized approach with its open-source project, Llama, and its potential national security risks. We also tackle the political weaponization of AI and the critical role of open-source models in maintaining a balance of power. Wrapping up, we emphasize the urgent need for education and awareness in both crypto and AI to safeguard privacy and freedom. Stay tuned for future episodes where we'll explore AI's impact on social media manipulation and politics.
