According to BlockBeats, an Open AGI Summit was held at EthCC on June 27, featuring discussions from Polygon, Eigenlayer, and Sentient on the issues of open and closed AI. Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon and Sentient, elaborated on the critical juncture faced by humans and centralized AI. He advocated for the use of blockchain to create an open world, promoting transparency and fairness, as opposed to a closed world dominated by large corporations.
Nailwal further stated that the rapid development of centralized AI and its integration into daily life has brought humanity to a crossroads between two future worlds. On one hand, we can choose a closed world, controlled by a few closed-source models operated by large corporations. On the other hand, we can opt for an open world, where models are open-source by default, and inferences are verifiable. The open world is the world we want to live in, but it can only be achieved by using blockchain to make AI more transparent and fair.
