DeAI Day in Austin: A Dynamic Panel Discussion on the Future of Decentralized AI
On May 30th, a panel discussion at DeAI Day in Austin brought together innovators and thought leaders in the decentralised AI space to discuss emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities.
The panel featured an impressive lineup of experts:
- Jonathan Jaranilla from Exabits
- Imgezu Cetin from Jeannie AI
- Trevor Harries-Jones from Render Network
- Will Ogarzaly from NounSpace
- Art Abal from Vana
- The discussion was expertly moderated by Mike Anderson from 6079.ai.
Each panellist brought a unique perspective, enriched by their diverse experiences and expertise. Jonathan Jaranilla and Trevor Harries-Jones shared insights on decentralised compute, discussing how the computational power required for AI can be decentralised to enhance efficiency and security. Will Ogarzaly provided a fascinating perspective on the deployment framework for AI products, emphasising that these frameworks should be decentralised and user-owned.
A particularly intriguing moment of the panel was the brainstorm between Will Ogarzaly and Art Abal, where they explored the potential of AI agents. They envisioned a future where self-sovereign AI agents could potentially run panels on behalf of human panellists. This discussion opened up exciting possibilities for the future of decentralized AI and sparked significant interest among the attendees.
Art Abal shared insights on user-owned data and AI from Vana's perspective. He explained how the $DAT token enables users to write their data onto a layer one blockchain, ensuring they have control over their own information. He also discussed how Vana supports collectively owned AI by ensuring that everyone who contributes to the AI has a say and a share in the technology.
The event underscored the vibrant and collaborative spirit of the decentralized AI community. The discussions highlighted the immense potential for cooperation and innovation in the space. It was evident that building a comprehensive end-to-end AI pipeline requires significant effort and collaboration, and the event emphasized the essential role of collective action in achieving success.
DeAI Day in Austin was a testament to the energy and enthusiasm within the decentralised AI community. It provided a platform for forging new partnerships and exploring innovative solutions. The future of decentralised AI is bright, and the collaborations formed at this event will play a crucial role in shaping the landscape in the coming years.
