How Blockchain Fixes AI's Biggest Problem with Anand Iyer

What if the future of AGI isn't owned by a handful of tech giants?

In today's episode, we sit down with an Anand Iyer, a prominent AI crypto investor who's been living in the trenches of both worlds to explore how $300 billion has flowed into centralized AI versus just $1 billion into decentralized AI and why this disparity creates the biggest opportunity.

We dig into the push to give AI ownership back to the people and a bold prediction: the next billion-dollar project might be coded by just one developer and launched onchain.

Let's explore.
