Source: Cointelegraph.com NewsSome of blockchain\u2019s earliest adopters are now deeply \u201centrenching\u201d themselves in decentralized AI, with ecosystems like Bittsenor (TAO) emerging as growth engines. These platforms are reshaping traditional venture capital models, enabling the best ideas to organically attract community support, staking and liquidity without the need for institutional gatekeepers.
\nThat was one of the key takeaways from Cointelegraph\u2019s interview with Chris Miglino, the co-founder and CEO of DNA Fund, a digital asset investment firm he runs alongside fellow serial entrepreneurs Brock Peirce and Scott Walker.
\nDNA Fund manages, among other things, five distinct funds across a range of strategies, such as a high-yield fund, an algorithmic trading fund, an AI compute fund, a liquid token fund and a venture fund \u2014 serving both company and investor capital.\u00a0

\n\u201cThe biggest thing that we\u2019re working on in the whole ecosystem is our AI compute fund, where we\u2019ve been entrenched into the TAO ecosystem,\u201d said Miglino, referring to Bittensor, a decentralized, open-source machine learning network.
\nBittensor\u2019s backers say the network stands out for its subnets, which enable specialized, incentive-based marketplaces built around a specific AI or machine learning use case.\u00a0
\nDNA Fund is \u201cactively mining on different subnets,\u201d having committed roughly $50 million worth of compute to the TAO ecosystem, Miglino said.\u00a0
\n\u201cWe\u2019re willing and ready to talk to anybody that wants to launch inside that ecosystem,\u201d he said.

\n\u2018Decentralized AI is consuming everything we\u2019re doing\u2019
\nDecentralized AI \u2014 the framework for developing and deploying artificial intelligence systems across a distributed network rather than a centralized authority \u2014 is currently the main focus at DNA House, Miglino said.
\nIt\u2019s \u201cconsuming everything we\u2019re doing,\u201d he said.\u00a0
\nFor Miglino, this paradigm has the opportunity to be \u201cbigger than anything that\u2019s ever existed […] I think it has the opportunity to be bigger than Bitcoin.\u201d
\nWhile that may appear as a herculean task, given Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC) $2.1 trillion market cap and status as the first successful decentralized monetary system of the information age, technologists broadly agree that AI will profoundly reshape human society.
\nThe AI takeover will become more apparent by the 2030s, when the technology is projected to become the world\u2019s valuable tech sector.

\n\u201cDevelop on the ecosystem, get validators that believe in your idea, [and] that\u2019ll attract the miners and the validators together and all of a sudden you\u2019re in business. You don\u2019t need to go out and raise a ton of money from a bunch of VCs.\u201d
\nThe idea that AI\u2019s future will be decentralized is far from fringe. One of the earliest pioneers of artificial general intelligence, Ben Goertzel, told Cointelegraph that he realized the need for decentralization in AI as far back as the early 1990s, before even writing his first line of AI code.
