In this episode, we dive deep into the future of AI and Web3 with Zoé Meckbach, VP and Partner at Phala Network. If you're curious about how decentralization could reshape the AI landscape, this is the episode for you.

We explore the challenges of centralized AI models, the risks of monopolized knowledge, and how blockchain technology is set to revolutionize the space. Zoe shares her personal journey into crypto and AI, highlighting the critical role of security and trust in the evolving AI landscape.

Together, we discuss the integration of AI agents with blockchain and how Phala Network is positioning itself as a key player in this new frontier. Phala is a TEE-based CPU cloud that leverages trusted hardware to securely handle heavy computations, all while maintaining confidentiality. With over 30,000 decentralized TEE nodes, Phala offers a developer-focused platform that allows for the creation of AI agents capable of interacting with off-chain models and monetizing their knowledge.

We also explore Phala’s vision for decentralized artificial general intelligence (DAGI) and how they aim to decentralize AI tech stacks, all within the broader context of Web3 and Polkadot’s role in the Decentralized AI space.
