At the Limitless event, leaders in tokenized AI discussed how decentralization enables more open and accessible AI innovation.​ Key points:

  • Tokens incentivize diverse participants to create secure, efficient systems
  • Livepeer token rewards GPU contributions for video processing and AI
  • Render Network distributes consumer GPU power for rendering and ML jobs
  • SingularityNET combines with other projects to avoid centralized control
  • Ocean Protocol incentivizes algorithm contributions and data exchange

While early stage, decentralized networks provide an alternative to centralized AI control.​ As Bruce Pon of Ocean Protocol noted, "Decentralized networks are critical for preserving freedom in AI.​"

Decentralization offers an opportunity for more open and accessible innovation around AI. At its core, decentralized AI is enabled by tokens, which incentivize behaviors across diverse, uncoordinated, and trustless peers to create secure and efficient new ways of working. 🧵👇
