Crypto investment mogul Barry Silbert is betting big on decentralized AI, calling it “the next great era of crypto” that could be bigger than even Bitcoin. In a letter to shareholders of his crypto conglomerate Digital Currency Group, Silbert spoke highly of deAI: the crypto industry’s effort to merge AI innovations with blockchain technology. He believes the technology mashup could yield better dividends for humanity than the closed systems being developed by OpenAI and other giants.
