Deep dives

Decentralized AI as a Counterweight to Centralization

Decentralized AI platforms like BitTensor aim to provide an alternative to centralized AI labs such as OpenAI. Unlike these centralized entities that control every stage of data processing, from collection to productization, BitTensor allows developers to create specialized networks, referred to as subnets, that can operate independently. For instance, one subnet may focus on data scraping while another handles data fine-tuning. This decentralized model challenges the opacity and potential biases embedded within traditional AI systems, positioning itself as a counterweight to the centralized control of artificial intelligence.
