CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to Cointelegraph, former OpenAI employee Joey Bertschler announced the establishment of the cryptocurrency salary distribution platform Volante Chain during the Blockchain and AI Week in Germany, which has secured $2 million in private placement funding. The platform realizes same-day salary settlements through blockchain technology and is currently conducting MVP phase testing in Vietnam and Japan, covering thousands of users.
Bertschler stated that the platform employs a hybrid AI system: artificial intelligence monitors employer default risks in real-time and supports decision-making, while also equipped with manual review and legal verification. He revealed that the existing funds can support five years of operation without the need for additional financing.
When discussing the reasons for leaving OpenAI, this Austrian founder stated that non-U.S. employees face promotion restrictions and a lack of equity incentives, criticizing the company as 'not living up to its name': 'With Microsoft's entry, OpenAI has deviated from its open-source original intention and could completely be renamed Closed AI.'
