Welcome to the first solo episode of Indivisible! Up until now, we've followed an interview format and focused half on topics in crypto and half on AI. Today, we dive into a topic that sits right at the intersection of the AI-crypto frontier. 

 

On this episode, we'll take a look at at the opportunity for disrupting our current paradigm of centralized AI by creating a decentralized  protocol for machine learning compute. We'll review the current AI paradigm and terms of access for today's primary 'foundational models,' the stakes of continuing AI development as is, the political efforts that are underway to secure AI monopoly and finally...  the crypto-driven opportunity for disruption that is being pioneered by the Gensyn protocol.

 

Gensyn is securing the right to build AI (at scale) for everyone not as a legal right but using the laws of code, and we think there are few problems that could be more important and inspiring to be solving right now.
