Leading experts in Decentralized AI, including Vitalik Buterin, Sandeep Nailwal, Illia Polosukhin, and Sreeram Kannan, will be present at the Decentralized AGI Summit, which is being coordinated by Sentient and Symbolic Capital.
FEBRUARY 19TH, 2023 NEW YORK
There is increasing worry that centralized artificial intelligence (AI) controlled by a small number of players might constitute a huge danger to civilization as the development of AGI systems progresses. Leading authorities in AI and blockchain, including Vitalik Buterin, Sandeep Nailwal, Illia Polosukhin, Sreeram Kannanm, and others, will convene at the first Decentralized AGI Summit to discuss how blockchain technology’s decentralized, multi-stakeholder governance models can make the advancement of AGI safer, more transparent, and in line with societal goals.
Sandeep Nailwal stated:
“The rapid acceleration of centralized AI and its integration into everyday life has led humanity to a crossroads between two future world. On the one hand, we have the choice of a Closed World. This world is controlled by few, closed-source models run by massive mega corporations. On the other hand, we have the choice of an Open World. In this world, models are default open-source, inference is verifiable, and value flows back to the stakeholders. The Open World is the world we want to live in, but it is only possible by leveraging blockchain to make AI more transparent and just.”
Mon., Feb. 26 from 3 to 9 p.m. MST is when the Decentralized AGI Summit will happen. Attendance is free and available to the public via https://decentralizedagi.org/.
Kenzi Wang, Co-Founder and General Partner at Symbolic Capital stated:
“We are excited to help facilitate this important discussion around the development of safe and ethical AGI systems that leverage decentralization and multi-stakeholder governance. Bringing luminaries across both the AI and web3 domains together will help push forward thinking on this critical technological frontier.”
Among the featured keynote speakers are:
- Vitalik Buterin, Co-Founder of Ethereum Foundation
- Sandeep Nailwal, Co-Founder of Polygon Labs
- Illia Polosukhin, Co-Founder of Near Foundation
- Sreeram Kannan, Founder of Eigenlayer
Technical AI safety research, AGI system governance models, ethical issues, and new use applications at the nexus of blockchain and AI will all be covered. The conference seeks to promote cooperation between leaders in the business, academic institutions, and the decentralized AI community.
