In an exclusive interview with Cryptonews Podcast, Ben Goertzel, CEO and Chief Scientist of decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) project SingularityNET, discussed the close connection between AI, crypto, and blockchain and how the emerging intersection of AI and crypto will be the most exciting development in the world over the next few years.

Goertzel talked about AI becoming a new species, much smarter than humans, capable of reprograming its own brain.

He also discussed the major difference between ChatGPT and the decentralized approach to the AI evolution taken by Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI).

It is important to keep in mind that artificial intelligence is not a new thing, Goertzel remarked.

While it may appear to the public that it just came onto the scene – given its recent explosion – the industry insiders have been working on it for a long time.

For example, Goertzel wrote his first AI code when he was a teenager in the late 1970s.

Furthermore, the main ideas behind the AI field were present in the ‘60s and the ‘70s, he said.

Therefore, “from my own view, it’s been a pretty continuous growth and progress” ever since.

The main difference between then and now is that previously the world didn’t have the scale of compute and data to feed into the AIs.

As the technology progresses, it opens up ways to execute long-existing ideas.

We sat down with Wendell Wallach, co-director of the Artificial Intelligence & Equality Initiative (AIEI), at #BGI24 to discuss the critical issues surrounding #AI, #biotech, and
