The Decentralized AI Revolution with 0G Labs CEO, Michael Heinrich

Lex interviews Michael Heinrich, co-founder and CEO of 0G (Zero
Gravity) Labs. In this exciting episode, Lex and Michael explore
the concept of decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) and how
it differs from centralized, closed-source AI models provided by
big tech companies. Michael kicks off with his background in tech
and finance, and how he became interested in decentralized AI as
a solution to the issues with closed AI systems. Notable
discussion points: (1) Decentralized AI provides transparency and
verifiability around the data, training, and model alignment
used, unlike closed AI systems. (2) Blockchain-based systems can
help enforce a "code of conduct" for AI models and ensure fair
rewards distribution for data contributors. (3) 0G Labs is
building a decentralized AI operating system focused on key
components like decentralized storage, data availability, and a
serving layer for AI inference. (4) And lastly, the company is
working with various providers of AI verification mechanisms
(zKML, OPML, TEML, etc.) to integrate with their decentralized AI
platform. The ultimate goal is to provide a seamless user
experience for building and deploying decentralized AI
applications, similar to how centralized tech platforms operate
today.
