Episode notes
Defining AI
- AI is often defined as whatever feels magical that computers can do, approaching human or superhuman ability.
- Once demystified, specific terms replace "AI," like "machine learning" for current working technologies.
Blockchain for AI Resource Management
- Blockchains can facilitate marketplaces for AI resources like data, compute, and model architectures.
- This can improve liquidity and access, particularly for resources like GPU clusters, currently controlled by a few centralized providers.
Transparency in AI with Blockchain
- Blockchain can bring transparency to AI by recording the data used to train models, addressing bias and ethical concerns.
- This transparency shifts control from centralized entities like OpenAI to a more distributed decision-making process.
