数字货币集团的 Barry Silbert 在 AI 区块链 Bittensor 上押下重注

Barry Silbert 将担任 Yuma 的首席执行官，Yuma 是一家新的 DCG 公司，专注于在 Bittensor 的去中心化人工智能生态系统中孵化和建立新业务。

Digital Currency Group (DCG) is now focusing on decentralized AI, particularly the Bittensor ecosystem, for its next venture. A new company called Yuma will be incubated and constructed by the conglomerate for new enterprises.

数字货币集团 (DCG) 现在的下一个项目专注于去中心化人工智能，特别是 Bittensor 生态系统。该集团将为新企业孵化和建设一家名为Yuma的新公司。

People's interest in AI is piqued by its potential to alter a wide range of sectors. However, as users contribute their data to the massive computers of businesses like Microsoft, Facebook, and Google, it also runs the danger of concentrating excessive power in the hands of a select few corporations.

人们对人工智能的兴趣因其改变广泛领域的潜力而激起。然而，当用户将他们的数据贡献给微软、Facebook 和谷歌等企业的大型计算机时，它也面临着过度权力集中在少数公司手中的危险。

This might be avoided by decentralized AI, not only by utilizing enormous, largely untapped computational resources but also by dispelling some of the technology's opacity and sinister reputation.

这种情况可以通过去中心化人工智能来避免，不仅可以利用大量未开发的计算资源，还可以消除该技术的一些不透明性和恶名。

The native cryptocurrency of Bittensor, $TAO, is used to compensate a decentralized workforce of either miners who provide advanced computing services for specific jobs or validators who evaluate contributions for quality and distribute incentives.

Bittensor 的原生加密货币 $TAO 用于补偿分散的劳动力，其中包括为特定工作提供高级计算服务的矿工或评估质量贡献并分配激励的验证者。

DCG's first investment in Bittensor was made in 2021. More recently, Grayscale, an asset management company owned by DCG, has introduced funds centered on AI, including the $TAO token. Silbert will take over as CEO of Yuma, which will begin operations with around 25 employees. This demonstrates his dedication to the project.

DCG 对 Bittensor 的第一笔投资是在 2021 年。最近，DCG 旗下的资产管理公司 Grayscale 推出了以人工智能为中心的基金，包括 $TAO 代币。 Silbert 将接任 Yuma 首席执行官，该公司将开始运营，约有 25 名员工。这表明了他对该项目的奉献精神。

The Yuma incubation and design studio is to Bittensor in some ways what Joe Lubin's Consensys model was to Ethereum, according to Silbert. However, it is more akin to the Y Combinator model of a venture capital firm combined with an accelerator than it is to owning 100% of the subnets developed under Yuma's supervision.

Silbert 表示，Yuma 孵化和设计工作室之于 Bittensor 在某种程度上就像 Joe Lubin 的 Consensys 模型之于以太坊。然而，它更类似于风险投资公司与加速器相结合的 Y Combinator 模型，而不是拥有 Yuma 监督下开发的 100% 子网。

“There are two flavors of subnet partnerships,” Silbert said. “We are doing an accelerator, so if you are a startup or an enterprise who has an idea and wants to explore the world of Bittensor and launch a subnet, we will help you. Then we have a subnet incubator, where we will partner up with somebody to build from scratch a new subnet.”

“子网合作伙伴关系有两种类型，”西尔伯特说。 “我们正在做一个加速器，所以如果你是一家初创公司或企业，有一个想法并想要探索 Bittensor 的世界并启动一个子网，我们将为你提供帮助。然后我们有一个子网孵化器，我们将与某人合作从头开始构建一个新的子网。”

According to Evan Malanga, Yuma's chief revenue officer, the present lineup covers a broad spectrum of applications.

Yuma 首席营收官 Evan Malanga 表示，目前的产品阵容涵盖了广泛的应用。

“We've got human detection, like bot detection subnets,” Malanga said in an interview. “We have time series prediction subnets coming online. We've got a few academic ones as well; AI research, leveraging the miners in the subnets to go do that work for them, some security ones, and a role-play one. And sports predictions. Lots of sports predictions.”

“我们有人类检测，比如机器人检测子网，”马兰加在接受采访时说。 “我们的时间序列预测子网即将上线。我们也有一些学术方面的；人工智能研究，利用子网中的矿工为他们完成这项工作，一些安全性的工作，以及角色扮演的工作。还有体育预测。很多体育预测。”
