When AI Goes Decentralized, Could It Turn Into the Dark Web?

OpenLedger wants everyone to be able to upload data, train models, and contribute computing power. Sounds awesome, right? A world where AI isn’t controlled by big companies. But here’s the catch—this kind of openness could also be a huge problem.

Think about it: if anyone can upload models and data, who’s making sure someone doesn’t poison the system, upload harmful stuff, or use AI for bad purposes? Add token incentives into the mix, and people will try to game the system, spam contributions, and exploit the rewards. Greed amplified by AI—that’s a scary combo.

OpenLedger does have some controls: on-chain voting, time delays for proposals, staking for AI agents, and tracking who contributed what with Proof of Attribution. But it’s not enough. Malicious models can spread fast, low-quality data might still get rewarded, and tracing who’s responsible isn’t easy.

Bottom line: the decentralized AI ecosystem is exciting and open, but also risky. Without strong oversight and accountability, we could be heading toward an AI version of the dark web—where anyone can contribute, but no one really keeps it in check.
