Hashed’s Simon Kim believes the future of artificial intelligence hinges on a radical shift: breaking open the black box of centralized models like OpenAI and building a decentralized, transparent ecosystem powered by blockchain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For Kim, CEO of South Korea\u2019s leading crypto VC fund, the urgency is clear. AI’s unchecked centralization threatens to create a “god” we don\u2019t understand, while blockchain offers the tools to reward creators, protect intellectual property, and provide transparency into generative AI \u2013 which has been widely<\/a> criticized<\/a> for its bias and selective reasoning.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“AI is being centralized. OpenAI is not open, and it is controlled by very few people, so it’s quite dangerous. Making this type of [closed source] foundational model is similar to making a ‘god’, but we don’t know how it works,” he said in an interview with CoinDesk.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kim argues that open-source AI models like Meta’s Llama are an example of how AI can be built with decentralization and transparency in mind.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But he says the lack of robust incentive mechanisms for data providers \u2013 i.e. everyone who uses the internet \u2013 is still a problem.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“AI models are just crawling the original content on the web and giving answers without compensating the creators,” Kim said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kim believes we can fix this by developing a \u201ccopyright layer\u201d where rights holders can track how their content is used \u2013 and re-used \u2013 by AI while being paid along the way.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Hashed thinks it\u2019s found a solution to this with Story<\/a>, an IP management protocol that it led a Series-B round<\/a> in last year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The fund hasn’t invested in any decentralized AI projects yet, but feels it is building exposure to the space via its investment in Story.\n<\/p>\n

“We definitely need a blockchain-based IP system to incentivize the original creator, both the creator and the remixers,” Kim continued.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kim is far from the only voice calling for open source AI development. A growing chorus of voices<\/a> from Meta’s Mark Zuckererg<\/a> to the Economist’s editorial board<\/a> all agree that the black box of closed source AI \u2013 the deity whose decisions and workings remain a mystery \u2013 has to go for the industry to mature.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But its up to Kim to convince them that the solution lies in blockchain and crypto.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
