DCG Founder Barry Silbert Stated That the Future of Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (deAI) Is Very Big, Even More Than Bitcoin

Digital Currency Group (DCG) founder Barry Silbert stated that the future of decentralised Artificial Intelligence (deAI) is very big, even more than Bitcoin.

Digital Currency Group (DCG) founder Barry Silbert believes that the future of decentralized artificial intelligence (deAI) is “very, very big,” even surpassing that of Bitcoin. In a recent Twitter thread, Silbert predicts that deAI could usher in the next major era for the digital assets market.

Silbert’s interest in deAI is evident as he reveals that DCG has already invested nearly $105 million in over a dozen deAI projects. Furthermore, the company plans to continue funneling capital into this emerging sector.

One notable deAI project that DCG has supported is Bittensor, which Silbert describes as the “World Wide Web of AI.” He likens Bittensor's $TAO token to Bitcoin in terms of its potential to tokenize an entire protocol and generate a network effect.

Silbert's enthusiasm for deAI stems from its ability to tokenize an entire protocol, as opposed to a single application or service. He believes that protocols are the “digital legos” that enable endless possibilities for innovation.

Moreover, Silbert highlights the importance of decentralized ownership in the context of artificial intelligence, arguing that it aligns with the ethos of Web3 and counters the risks associated with the concentration of AI power in the hands of a few large corporations.
