Hashed’s Simon Kim Advocates for Decentralized AI Models Using Blockchain

Simon Kim, CEO of Hashed, emphasizes the need for a decentralized AI ecosystem to counter the centralization risks posed by models like OpenAI. Key points include:

Centralized AI poses dangers due to lack of transparency and control by few individuals.
Open-source models, such as Meta's Llama, exemplify decentralization and transparency in AI development.
The current model does not adequately compensate content creators whose work is used by AI.
A proposed "copyright layer" would allow rights holders to track and monetize their content's use.
Hashed invested in Story, an IP management protocol, which aims to address these issues.
No direct investments in decentralized AI projects yet, but exposure is being built through the Story investment.

Kim advocates for a blockchain-based IP system to incentivize original creators. The call for open-source AI development is supported by various industry leaders who assert that transparency is essential for AI's evolution.
