7 Ways Crypto (yes, Crypto!) Could Help Build Better AI
7 Ways Crypto (yes, Crypto!) Could Help Build Better AI  
Podcast: AI-Curious with Jeff Wilser

Description: Before launching the AI-Curious podcast, I spent a bunch of years writing about bitcoin, blockchain, crypto, and web3, often for CoinDesk, the space’s main publication. I still write about it. So I’m in a relatively unique position to see the intersection of these two techs. Is there a connection? Can crypto really help develop better AI? There’s now an explosion of interest in “Decentralized AI,” which — in theory — could help minimize risks from Big Tech, reduce bias, fight censorship, solve the problem of deepfakes and even make AI more inclusive. And this episode is sneaky-timely. There are over 15,000 people converging in Austin, Texas, for the annual “Consensus” conference — presented by CoinDesk — which focuses on the wider world of crypto. There’s now an “AI Summit” at this conference… and I’m hosting the AI Summit. So this episode is very much a conversation, in a sense, of the themes discussed at Consensus. (And if you found this podcast from Consensus itself, welcome! This is an excellent intro episode for you.)Consensus 2024:https://consensus2024.coindesk.comPiece I wrote last year:“10 Ways Crypto and AI Can Make Each Other Better (or Maybe Worse)”https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/06/12/10-ways-crypto-and-ai-can-make-each-other-better-or-maybe-worse/Stay Connected:•🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://x.com/jeffwilser•💼 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffwilser/•🖥️ JeffWilser.comwww.JeffWilser.com🎧 Subscribe to AI-Curious:•Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-curious-with-jeff-wilser/id1703130308•Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/70a9Xbhu5XQ47YOgVTE44Q?si=c31e2c02d8b64f1b• YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@jeffwilser
