According to Odaily Planet Daily, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said in a post this morning that OpenAI seemed to have been hacked not long ago, which is a terrible thing. He believes that locally executable AI models are the only way to protect user privacy and ensure resilience/independence. The new generation of smartphones and laptops are powerful enough to fine-tune general LLMs based on users' own data and keep the enhancements in the device in a localized way. Earlier in May, Ardoino said in an interview that artificial intelligence (AI) will be the company's next big bet. He pointed out that Tether is investing in the field of AI, aiming to create decentralized, localized AI models that can run on personal devices to enhance privacy and control. He emphasized that Tether's goal is to reduce intermediaries and achieve decentralization in various fields such as finance, communications and education through blockchain technology. In addition, Tether has also invested in brain-computer interface technology to maintain human uniqueness and enhance cognitive ability.
