Decentralized AI

What does it really mean to build decentralized AI — and why might it be the last big thing we ever build? In this talk, Dima Starodubtsev, founder of Bostrom, breaks down the essential traits of decentralized AI systems and presents a comprehensive analysis of emerging projects in the space.

• 🔹 What decentralized AI is — and why it doesn’t really exist yet.
• 🔹 The five critical properties: verifiability, censorship resistance, content-addressability, training incentives, and fault tolerance.
• 🔹 Why most LLMs today are propaganda tools, and what it takes to create a trustworthy system.
• 🔹 Introduction to soft3: a consensus computing architecture for semantic knowledge graphs.
• 🔹 Key decentralized AI projects: Cortex, Bittensor, Bostrom.
• 🔹 Why building infrastructure matters more than short-term hype.
• 🔹 How to get involved: tools, ideas, and entry points for builders and researchers.
