GaiaNet CEO and co-founder Matt Wright discusses the two camps in the debate over decentralized artificial intelligence. The first camp prefers a controlled software environment, while the second believes in open and liberal ideals.Wright supports the second camp, stating, "I don't believe in controlling these systems. I think we should guide them properly, and all we can really do is provide secure fences and appropriate dialogue. These systems should not be managed by individuals or governments, and the technology should not be supervised by those who do not use it. On the other hand, Web3 and Ethereum have implemented appropriate on-chain governance. Tokenized entities manage systems in a more democratic way based on their degree of participation."Wright states, "We are now at a critical moment, where institutional recognition of cryptocurrency ETFs as asset classes is incredible, allowing their clients to easily enter the field. Obviously, this will bring a lot of liquidity to the field. The Ethereum community should welcome this attention and make it more focused on developers and construction."Matt Wright is the CEO and co-founder of GaiaNet, an artificial intelligence infrastructure project aimed at decentralizing current AI agent software.
