Bittensor co-founder Jacob Steeves explains why he believes decentralized AI is essential — and why Bitcoin-style crypto incentives could help prevent artificial intelligence from being controlled by a single company.

In this talk, Steeves argues that AI must be transparent, auditable and co-owned, warning that a world dominated by one centralized intelligence could reshape how people understand reality itself.
