Vitalik once published an article called:"The Promise and Challenges of Crypto + AI Applications"
I researched it, and... found out about decentralized AI.
ELI5 + who is building it
II. At the beginning, Vitalik mentions that crypto can complement AI through:
- Balancing out its centralization.
- Bringing transparency to its opaqueness.
- Facilitating data storage.
III. He categorized the use of AI in crypto into four intersections:
- AI as the Objective.
- AI as a Player.
- AI as an Interface.
- AI as the Rules.
But what does this all mean?
IV. AI as the Objective.
It would allow the creation of trustworthy, decentralized AI that could be used wherever people feel the system is cheating or biased.
And I thought... "I think I know what it could be"

Sahara AI is building such a thing, aboard with @Binance Labs , sequoia, PanteraCapital, polychaincap, matrixvc, and others.
V. AI as a Player.
AI would actively participate in markets, monitoring social media posts for rule violations, predicting stock prices, verifying user identities, and assessing the legitimacy of dapps, people, and addresses.
This would all be based on a prediction market system.
Thousands of AIs would analyze vast amounts of data to make conclusions - or rather, predictions.
VI. AI as an Interface.
Here, Vitalik talks about AI as your personal mentor.
A wise old man who tells you about the dangers of particular actions, stops you from making mistakes, and helps you navigate through this cold and ruthless world of eternal blockchains.
VII. AI as the Rules.
Imagine an impersonal being that governs dapps you interact with.
It's up to IT to decide if you can get a loan. Or swap your tokens. Or mint those NFTs.
VIII. Moving back to "AI as the Objective", but mostly SaharaLabsAI, it was founded by @xiangrenNLP and tz_sahara.

Currently, SaharaLabsAI is trusted by 35+ enterprise clients, including Microsoft, Amazon, MIT, Motherson Group, Snap, and others.
IX. The problem is that most AI today remains trapped in a Web 2.0 paradigm where users trade their knowledge for access to AI/ML tools.
There is often no transparency on how users' proprietary models and agents are used by these centralized AI providers, and no protection or compensation for users’ contributions.
SaharaLabsAI offers a human-centered alternative that protects personal privacy and rewards all contributors.
X. What makes SaharaLabsAI different?
Collaborative Economy.
It's a new paradigm where AI development, ownership, and benefits are distributed among all participants in the ecosystem, rather than concentrated in the hands of a few large companies.
- It protects personal privacy.
- It ensures fair compensation for all contributors.
- It promotes innovation through open collaboration.
- It maintains provenance and sovereignty of your AI.
XI. You can sign up for a waitlist to get early access to AI Marketplace and SaharaLabsAI infrastructure here:
hi. saharalabs .ai
XII. What are the key components of @SaharaLabsAI platform?
- Sahara Blockchain.
- AI Infrastructure.
- AI Marketplace.
- Development Tools: (Sahara SDK and API).
- Secure Storage.
XIII. As a conclusion, SaharaLabsAI is building something that space hasn't seen before, called collaborative AI economy.
This approach allows everyone to contribute to and benefit from the future of AI.
SaharaLabsAI will launch its AI Marketplace in Q3, Testnet in Q4, Mainnet in Q1 of 2025, and Sahara Agent in Q2 of 2025.
So excited to see how the narrative will play out and what role SaharaLabsAI will take here.
