The Mindplex Podcast Episode 37: The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (Ben Goertzel & Trent McConaghy)
Join Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNet and Trent McConaghy, Co-founder of Ocean Protocol as they explain the next steps with the ASI merger, now that the ASI token has launched.
Desdemona Robot is now running the show and has oodles of new dialogue systems, accompanied by her co-host Lisa Rein.
Episode 37: The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance
The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) marks a significant milestone in the field of decentralized AI technologies, initiated by a merger among three major players: SingularityNET, Fetch.ai, and Ocean Protocol.
This groundbreaking collaboration effectively creates the largest open-source, decentralized player in AI research and development, while also advancing the path to AGI’s development on the blockchain by leveraging their strengths in a unified ecosystem.
The merger has a strategic rationale of creating a large-scale, open-source network that stands as a counterbalance to the concentrated power of Big Tech in AI:
-SingularityNET, founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel, is known for its decentralized marketplace for AI services.
-Ocean Protocol, developed under Trent McConaghy's guidance, provides a decentralized data exchange to secure and monetize data.
-Fetch.ai, led by DeepMind investor Humayun Sheikh, operates as a decentralized platform that facilitates the deployment and commercialization of AI technologies.
About Trent McConaghy
Trent McConaghy, Co-Founder, Ocean Protocol
A self-proclaimed solarpunk, Trent is a co-founder of Ocean Protocol, which is unbounding AI via blockchain technology and Ocean Predictoor, which enables decentralized prediction feeds via AI * Web3. (At scale, Predictoor will unlock vastly more powerful AI, backed by ground-truth physics.) His ultimate long-term goal is to help ensure that humanity has a role in an increasingly autonomous world and believes that “bci/acc is the path.”
