CoopHive’s Post

Decentralized AI Summit, organized by MIT Media Lab is moving at a pace beyond what my human brain can fully absorb. It’s a mind fire of ideas and innovation! The event today introduced vast array of opportunities, reflecting how technology evolves and what to expect over the next five years. Yet the critical discussions on the safe and responsible use of AI remain behind with respect to the accelerating speed of this change. Here are a few points that resonated with me in scope of responsible AI. (1) Addressing human bias in problem solving, upon defining the target outcomes, by Mark Castleman. Hence, AI Bias. (2) Threats to data privacy in exchange for ease, speed, and convenience of using AI systems, by Kavita Gupta. (3) Kavita also addressed AI agents safety risks, referencing the conversations between AI agents trained in HR. Along my career in risk and resilience, I have seen that most severe negative impact was caused from threats by insider users. Now, there is an additional threat category of AI agents, along with natural catastrophes, human insider and human outsider of an organization, acting deliberately or accidentally. (3) Risks of Decentralized AI, by Michael Casey (4) Increasing value of performance, verifiability and privacy as AI becomes invisible, by Jarrod Barnes (5) Benefits on incentive sharing, governance, and power of user sovereignty, in decentralized AI systems, by Ayush Chopra (6) Decentralization as part of governance, enabling AI system's availability when an actor is no longer present in the system, by Neha Narula Great to have John Werner facilitating the project presentations by Acoer, Atoma Network, CBase AI, CoopHive, Index Network, NEAR Protocol, Nevermined, NET Offset, Newfoundation, OriginTrail, FormAI, Synergetics.ai, Grove AI, Livepeer and more I voted for. Last, Joseph Jacks joined from the West Coast, opening up a conversation on investing in open source, followed by breakout sessions. Congratulations to Raj Simhan, Chris Pease for making this event a success, Ramesh Raskar and Santanu Bhattacharya for leading this initiative in #decentralized_AI at MIT Media Lab Let's have the discussions on safe and responsible use of AI, so the decisions and implementations of risk countermeasures are not left behind.
