為什麼去中心化人工智慧正在興起

一年前，「加密+人工智慧」聽起來像是一場「VC 瘋狂的遊戲」。現在，隨著現實世界的應用程式開始出現，這個想法變得更加有意義。

As AI becomes a greater part of our lives — and that feels inevitable — it will have the power to shape how we see the world, how we interact with the world, and how we present to the world. It could shape how we think.

隨著人工智慧成為我們生活中更重要的一部分——這似乎是不可避免的——它將有能力塑造我們如何看待世界、如何與世界互動以及如何向世界展示。它可以塑造我們的思維方式。

Should this be controlled by the billionaire de jour?

這應該由當今的億萬富翁控制嗎？

Let’s look at two concrete examples, one that’s straightforward and one that’s chilling. The next frontier of Gen AI is likely the rise of AI agents, which can do things like book your flight, pay your phone bill, or invest your money in stocks. (“Hey Siri, go ahead and put $1,000 in the S&P.”)

讓我們來看兩個具體的例子，一個是簡單的，另一個是令人毛骨悚然的。 Gen AI 的下一個前沿可能是人工智慧代理商的崛起，它可以做一些事情，例如預訂航班、支付電話費或投資股票。 （「嘿 Siri，繼續在標準普爾指數中投入 1,000 美元。」）

Do we want Big Tech to control not just our data, but also what we do with it?

我們是否希望大型科技公司不僅控制我們的數據，還控制我們如何處理這些數據？

More chilling: It’s likely that millions of people will someday use AI chatbots — perhaps through audio or even video — as coaches or even therapists. Early versions are here now. (On my podcast AI-Curious, for example, I interviewed a longtime coach who’s working with the German Research Center to develop AI-based personal coaching. It’s coming. It’s inevitable.) Millions of people will share their inner-most thoughts, longings, fears, sexual desires, confessions and embarrassments. Do we want this sliced and diced by Zuckerberg and co.?

更令人不寒而慄的是：有朝一日，可能有數百萬人使用人工智慧聊天機器人（可能透過音訊甚至視訊）作為教練甚至治療師。早期版本現已推出。 （例如，在我的播客AI-Curious 中，我採訪了一位長期擔任教練的教練，他正在與德國研究中心合作開發基於人工智慧的個人教練。它即將到來。這是不可避免的。）數百萬人將分享他們內心深處的想法和渴望、恐懼、性慾、坦白和尷尬。我們想要祖克柏和他的同事們把它切成小塊嗎？

The decentralized and privacy-preserving tech of blockchain, potentially, could give us the fruits of AI without the poison of Big Tech.

區塊鏈的去中心化和隱私保護技術可能會為我們帶來人工智慧的成果，而不會受到大型科技的毒害。
