The Future of AI Is Decentralized
With AI, centralization doesn’t work on any level: technical, philosophical, ethical, or market, says Alex Goh, founder and chairman of EMC.

‘Big Cloud’ and the monopolization of AI
Megacorps like Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and Amazon dominate the AI field because they have the immense financial, human, and compute resources necessary to make it work at scale.
This is terrible for the development of AI, and completely antithetical to its democratizing potential. When algorithms and applications are built by a small coterie of devs at trillion-dollar California companies, it imposes a blinkered, one-dimensional, and incredibly subjective bias on AI agents. This affects everything from financial services, to creativity…even to human interactions.
There are equally compelling technical arguments against the monopolization of the AI market. Throughout its training process, AI must feed on a constant diet of new data, including from other AI applications. Yet the current centralizing tendencies of Big AI mean platforms and applications remain highly siloed, even with open-source models. This hinders innovation and leaves the field open for errors or malicious applications which can multiply with dizzying, potentially catastrophic consequences.
What’s more, the centralized model has enormous and obvious risks when it comes to safeguarding users’ personal data, privacy, and, in many cases, financial information. When one entity holds huge volumes of sensitive and business-critical data, it represents a single point of failure for attackers and enables one provider to censor or deny services to its users based on arbitrary and unchallengeable decisions.

Who do you want (or trust) to control and choose and edit and "wash" YOUR data that feeds AI?
