The AI Black Box: Can Decentralized AI Change Everything? (w/ Phala Network)

In this episode, we dive deep into the future of AI and Web3 with
Zoé Meckbach, VP and Partner at Phala Network. If you're curious
about how decentralization could reshape the AI landscape, this
is the episode for you.


We explore the challenges of centralized AI models, the risks of
monopolized knowledge, and how blockchain technology is set to
revolutionize the space. Zoe shares her personal journey into
crypto and AI, highlighting the critical role of security and
trust in the evolving AI landscape.


Together, we discuss the integration of AI agents with blockchain
and how Phala Network is positioning itself as a key player in
this new frontier. Phala is a TEE-based CPU cloud that leverages
trusted hardware to securely handle heavy computations, all while
maintaining confidentiality. With over 30,000 decentralized TEE
nodes, Phala offers a developer-focused platform that allows for
the creation of AI agents capable of interacting with off-chain
models and monetizing their knowledge.


We also explore Phala’s vision for decentralized artificial
general intelligence (DAGI) and how they aim to decentralize AI
tech stacks, all within the broader context of Web3 and
Polkadot’s role in the Decentralized AI space.
