Transcripts
thank you thank you very much great to
be here uh this is I've been coming to
East Denver since 2019 so it's been
really exciting to see this event
growing so I'm really excited to be here
and uh if you missed uh I've before kind
of my blockchain uh journey I actually
was for about 10 years um machine
learning researcher and developer I
worked at Google research and and the
team of us have developed a technology
called Transformers and for those who
are not familiar it is what powers most
of the advancements right now in uh in
AI now near actually started as AI
startup we were teaching machines to
code we're trying to change how you
interact with Computing and we had a
challenge ourselves that as we were uh
interacting with different uh
participants to curate more data and do
crowdsourcing we needed to pay them uh
and they were everywhere in around the
world and you would think that crypto is
that global payment Network that uh can
enable this back in 2018 it was not the
case and this is when we really focused
on building out near protocol and a
blockchain that can actually power um
Global usage of cryptocurrency as well
as a lot of other use
cases now the vision we set out to do
is really to build self- sovereignty the
way we Define this is that we want all
people to have control of their assets
data and power of governance and these
are important uh pieces to understand
right we talk a lot about self
soverignty uh around kind of being able
to control your own assets but it spans
beyond that and it's especially
important you know I grew up in Ukraine
and you know kind of the failure of
banks the hyper inflation is something
that I'm I grew up with uh I wouldn't
trust you know many banks in Ukraine
with a lot of money for sure and uh for
you know I've seen kind of inflation of
initially coupons and now griev as well
uh that continuesly to happen but beyond
that it's also what we have now with
data uh and I'll talk about more of this
and so the I think the important part
this is not just developing country
problem this is really a global problem
that we have that we starting to lose
our control over our lives uh and kind
of this is what the important part of
power of governance
is so there are two major problems
converging right now there is one that
is really about the incentives and this
is not a new problem the two the kind of
the beginning of Bitcoin with you know
uh Global financial crisis was Banks who
leveraged and leveraged their position
to really create new financial
instruments without any transparency and
then kind of to generate more profit and
led to a financial crisis similarly we
have now with tech companies who are
able to leverage their position their
access their distribution to put High
fees in app store to really kind of uh
have pretty much promote products and
even manipulate the way you are P
perceiving products through
advertisement and these are again
with the age of AI now accelerating
because even before uh you know machine
learning been used for a long time in
advertisement now you're able to have
this advertisement being injected
directly into the answer that you asking
chat GPT or gemini or any other chatbot
and you wouldn't even know if it was
coming from a statistical model based on
General data or it has been affected by
an ad auction and price and kind of sold
for specific spefically you to you know
promote this product or this opinion or
this idea and this is extremely
dangerous and this is where we're
starting to lose in many ways control of
the reality because the reality is now
framed by you know the media you consume
the uh kind of products you're using and
if they are controlled by single parties
that have kind of their motivation is
really driven by this incentives you
know shareholder profits they all will
be continuously trying to increase that
value extraction uh and CH to change
your opinion now again this is not a
like uh isolated problem it affects
everyone in the digital world and this
is just news from last week this is like
not even hard it took two minutes to
pull you know all kinds of ways that
right now the current system is trying
to uh figure out how to deal with this
right it's everything from you know open
AI that was originally a nonprofit now
making billions of dollars you have
people who are you know suing Google
because it has such a manipis control
over advertisement you have you know
approaches which are scaring people with
Sora so you have all of the things
happening right now and I would claim
that companies don't do it on purpose
right there's no like evil mastermind
sitting there and and saying like hey we
really need to manipulate people this is
really the incentive problem the problem
that as you incentivized to create more
Revenue you incentivized to figure out
how to extract more value and you will
be continuously making this models to do
that now this is really combined with
you know all the other world kind of
challenges we have right and again I'm
from Ukraine I see a very uh clear
problems with dictators who are
controlling countries right being able
to really change the world and
perception of the population and such a
way that they normalize the war and
killing of people who are really their
you know actually blood uh relatives and
so we really need to actually address
these challenges at a fundamental level
and I would say that Regulators the
approaches that are top down that come
in from boardrooms or from uh kind of a
small set of regulators trying to think
how to improve the situation will not
work for example the AI regulations
right now the there is an executive
order that came out of white house that
makes no sense they are restricting
Innovation by saying that if you have
more than some number of parameters
you're not able to do it unless you have
like a team that will be ethically
evaluating the models they have not
defined any of the criteria for what is
etical and what is you know safe for the
models and what it means is they
actually let making the big bigger
companies being able to control that
even more because they have the
resources and fund to really set up the
teams and Market them as you know really
important part of the process whereas
startups and innovators are not able to
where is open source that is truly at
the core of what we're doing is not able
to do that and this is really kind of
one of the most challenging thing and we
see the same thing with regulations and
crypto where like The Regulators don't
understand the fact that using crypto is
the way to regulate this we have the
opportunity to leverage this technology
to actually self-regulate and provide
transparency and visibility to everyone
and so we have this fork in the road
right on one side we have a Black Mirror
state where we have few companies that
really control the way people perceive
reality the way people buy products the
way people you know consume content or
we have a self- sovereign uh route which
is really about each individual having
the ability to do this each Community
having their own right and way and you
have a choice if you want to use you
know centralized company you have that
choice but you should be able to also
switch to Alternative the alternative
and startups should be able to innovate
and create alternative products not
require you know ton of licenses to just
start building a model in Python
notebook like that's that's a level of
regulations right now that's happening
and so it's really important for us to
AI proof our systems AI is extremely
powerful tool I'm really excited at what
you know the progress we've seen and I'm
excited to you know contribute and and
see even more progress but we also need
to understand that this is can be used
to do all this bad things and we need
our systems which right now rely on
paperwork on unsecure connections on you
know ability to look at the content you
don't know where it came from to really
leverage cryptography leverage
blockchain leverage all of the
Technologies we're building to a i proof
it it's about decentralized and
transparent digital systems that will
allow ow to have incentives to be
transparent and clear to everyone
instead of right now you have opaque
systems inside bigger companies and
bigger Banks it's new collaboration
structures that we can all come together
to promote open source to develop new
tooling to enable it to be used by
everyone and if you are making money of
it to contribute back in
kind and finally it's about kind of
scaling the markets and allowing anybody
to participate in an open way uh without
boundaries without you know trying to
prove your background or where you came
from or what's you know any other
property but really being able to
participate so we are kind of as near
been always thinking about this and for
us this all comes together as self-
Sovereign operating system it's really
something that as we kind of interact in
with Computing we need a different way
of doing this and now it builds up on
traditional operating systems web to
operating systems there's a huge
component of private data and
decentralized data data there's a huge
component of user owned AI an ability
for you as a user to have your AI That's
on your side being able to kind of
shield and decide what content and how
it should be summarized that you define
similarly you you have user owned AI
that is Def works for community on
behalf of community andwers that you
have trustless infrastructure and you
have experiences that are now more
generated and less like by your own
model and really provides to you uh as a
service so the trustless infrastructure
this is something we're building here
right we here at this Denver a lot of us
are building is infrastructure
applications on top of it and it's all
about s sovereignty you know that
private key kind of cryptography that
enables this but now we need to push
forward to enable communities to govern
this to enable to have uh really easy
way to on board new users and this is
one of the components why we've been
focused on chain abstraction on enabling
really a way for anyone to on board and
use web 3 without thinking about the
blockchain gas feeds Bridges lowlevel
infrastructure ideally even wallets and
uh other pieces if you don't need to and
this is really how we bring the next
wave of users they're not going to come
because of the uh values per se they're
going to come because it's easy to use
it's new content it's new opportunity
and they're able to do this as near
we've been doing this
uh since mayet and we are proudly a home
for top consumer applications we have
over 10 million monthly active users
most of whom don't know they using
blockchain they use it through different
applications like kaai ching and
sweatcoin play Amber and hot wallet to
really interact with all of the web 3
without thinking about the kind of
underlying details gas fees and other
pieces of infrastructure that we all you
know really working
on now the other piece is user own dat
AI I think this is extremely important
because right now the alternative is
companies centralized companies that
fully control the model that are able to
provide you an answer really fast
potentially cheap but you have no idea
what you're getting into right you have
no idea what decisions went in into
training data into how the systems proms
were affected and how things actually uh
been processed when you see them right
there's no way to ensure that the thing
you're getting has not dropped a
specific piece of content from the
training data which completely
potentially avoids a whole spectrum of
thinking because of whatever political
view or any other view that that company
had and remember this company is a
jurisdiction in specific country and
they need to comply by those regulations
and so there's always will be
limitations on what this models can do
and so open- Source AI models are
extremely important public data sets are
extremely important figuring out how do
we get models that run on your phone
that owned by you that are on your side
and are not trying to manipulate you is
extremely important and this is where
even further you can imagine Community
models that are uniting values of any
specific community and providing way to
kind of interact with the knowledge and
experiences of this community this is
all important and this is all need to
work on and so I'm inviting everyone
here to think Beyond on just web 3
because we sometimes get really focused
on the philosophy on the kind of values
we establish here or sometimes as Chris
uh was talking before we have you know a
casino and it's it's entertaining
there's a lot of fun you know you can go
DJ and the coins on on Exchange but all
of that is serves a purpose and it
serves a purpose to create new Economic
Opportunity create new really cool
applications you cannot have in web 2
because it's New Market Market places
it's new opportunities that are Global
and enable new like new experiences for
people and so it's easy to get caught up
in in kind of our you know Market going
up and everybody being excited about
this but I encourage everyone to Think
Through how do we get Beyond this how do
we on board new wave of users what
experiences can we build as well as how
do we bring and solve problems that
exist in real world right again open
source AI is something that is being
constantly pish right now because
there's no incentives to actually build
in open source and you have so much more
incentives building in in uh big
companies how do we leverage that how do
we leverage technology to bring self-
sovereignty to everyone make sure that
intelligence as a tool is available to
everyone at all times and is not
controlled by single parties how do we
make sure that we have and continue
having access to all the content and at
the same time are not spammed by
generated content that is fake and be
able to discern and have a reputation
around content all this pieces we have
the technology we have now
infrastructure and so now it's really
about building the applications so I
thank everyone if you're interested to
learn more about what I'm working on
follow me on Twitter and self
sovereignty is near so I'm hope we can
all work on
[Applause]
this
thank you Ilia that was great really
important stuff really appreciate it uh
we're going to go to a short break and
uh
