Keywords: GT Protocol, GTAI, AI, decentralization, blockchain, Cointelegraph, Peter Ionov, Terminator, GDPR, Big Tech GT Protocol (GTAI) co-founder and CEO Peter Ionov, in a guest article for Cointelegraph, argues that a "blockchain-based decentralized environment can avert an AI-induced doomsday scenario for humanity." "Uncontrolled AI development," Ionov warns, "can lead humanity down an unpredictable path. Even if the worst-case 'Terminator' scenario never materializes, the current AI development landscape has become undemocratic and untrustworthy." He points to Europe, where AI development has been found to violate GDPR. "The most effective way to prevent this," Ionov says, "is to realign AI development incentives toward greater transparency via decentralized blockchain-based environments." Decentralization's benefits include: - Algorithmic innovation - Censorship resistance - Greater network robustness - Scalability - Open-source collaboration Many believe decentralization through blockchain is the best way to challenge the dominance of Big Tech in AI development.
