DECENTRALIZED AI IS KEY FOR SELF-SOVEREIGNTY — ONICAI EXECUTIVES

Censorship, propaganda, privacy and self-harm are just some of the concerns
decentralization advocates have with centralized AI models.

Artificial intelligence researchers from the Dfinity Foundation, the nonprofit
behind the Internet Computer Protocol, and executives from decentralized AI
developer Onicai have recently released the Manifesto for Decentralized AI. The
manifesto outlines seven points to ensure that AI benefits the end-user,
including self-sovereign AI that works for the user and not large institutions.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Onicai CEO Patrick Friedrich said the
centralization of AI creates the potential for abuse by powerful corporations or
state actors to control and manipulate populations in a near-absolute way. The
Onicai CEO told Cointelegraph:

> “Going forward, with more and more AI agents that act autonomously, we don’t
> know what all of them can do, and we want to make sure they are not biased by
> some bigger interest — whether those be governments, political parties or huge
> organizations and companies.”

According to the Onicai executive, a solution to the problem of information
censorship or manipulation is running decentralized AI through smart contracts
on permissionless networks, which are immutable, open-source and highly
transparent.

This transparent set of rules would govern and constrain AI behavior and allow
users to run their AI with custom parameters using local storage methods,
decentralized clouds or even hybrid models — giving users true control over the
entire software stack running their AI.

STIFLING INNOVATION AND IGNORING THE NICHE

“I do not think we come from a direction of fear, but really from a direction of
potential that AI has,” Onicai chief technical officer Arjaan Buijk said.

Buijk told Cointelegraph that AI companies focus on building general-purpose AI
models instead of custom-tailored or niche models. The lack of profitability
means niche and unique implementations of AI models never materialize. This
stifles innovation and limits the growth potential of AI.

The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) launched the Cortex
decentralized AI in November 2024 for this reason. Cortex is an enterprise-grade
artificial intelligence for industrial needs that allows businesses to tailor AI
models to their needs and reduce the reliance on general-purpose, centralized
AI.

Michael Casey, co-founder of the Decentralized AI Society, recently told
Cointelegraph that the nonprofit group is exploring alternative funding methods
for AI projects as a counterbalance to venture capital-funded projects.

On Nov. 11, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told Lex Fridman that human-level AI may
arrive in 2026 or by 2027. 

Amodei’s prediction that artificial general intelligence (AGI) will materialize
by 2027 is years ahead of earlier predictions made by artificial intelligence
researchers, who predicted the advent of AGI in the 2030s or beyond.
