Insights from Janet Adams at the Global Blockchain Show

Janet Adams, Chief Operating Officer of 🔗SingularityNET, shared a powerful and urgent idea at the Global Blockchain Show: decentralization is the best way to make sure superintelligence and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) stay aligned with human values and serve everyone, not just a few.

She points out a big difference between the usual centralized AI and the decentralized approach. 🔗 SingularityNET has been building since 2017. Centralized AI, mostly controlled by a small number of big tech companies, puts huge amounts of intelligence, money, and power in the hands of just a few players. This brings real dangers: AI might not match the wide range of human values, it could reflect only narrow views, create unfair gaps, and lead to a future where AGI benefits only certain companies or countries instead of all of humanity.

Right now, most AI is 🔗narrow AI. It is great at spotting patterns and making predictions, but it cannot truly think creatively, understand context deeply, or adapt like a human. These systems stay locked inside company walls, limiting who can help shape them and how fast they can grow.

Why Decentralization is Key for True Alignment

Decentralization changes everything. It spreads control across a global community using blockchain, making AI development open, collaborative, and open to everyone. Janet Adams explains that only this kind of system can grow fast enough, with more developers, users, ideas, and tools, without being held back by one organization.

Alignment with human values cannot just be written into code or forced by rules, because rules always come too late and differ from place to place. Instead, alignment should grow naturally from a mix of voices: different cultures, ethics, experiences, and backgrounds. Decentralized systems make this possible through open governance, clear transparency, and wide participation. They also allow “swarm intelligence,” where AI agents work together, learn from each other, and improve in ways no single team could plan.

She stresses that diversity matters a lot, including gender, culture, and different life experiences. If superintelligence is built and guided by only a small group, it will carry their limited views. Decentralization opens the door to more inclusive and caring outcomes.

The Road to Web4 and an Explosion of AI Agents

SingularityNET is leading the way with its neuro-symbolic AI method. This blends neural learning with logical thinking, knowledge maps, and evolving systems to create real general intelligence, not just smart pattern matching.

Janet Adams talked about exciting upcoming steps:

• 🔗ASI:Chain – a fast blockchain made just for AI agents to run smoothly.
• 🔗ASI:Create – an easy platform for anyone to build and launch AI agents quickly.

These build toward Web4, a new era where smart agents act on their own, make transactions on the blockchain, and follow community rules. She sees a huge “🔗Cambrian explosion” coming, with hundreds of billions of AI agents in the next few years. Decentralization will be vital to avoid single points of control, failure, or misuse.

Deep Funding: Powering Community-Led AI Innovation

This exciting vision matches perfectly with DEEP Funding, SingularityNET’s community-driven grant program. DEEP Funding gives builders around the world the chance to get milestone-based funding and resources to create helpful, open AI tools that join the SingularityNET marketplace. By letting the community decide on grants and ideas, Deep Funding speeds up ethical and inclusive progress toward AGI. It moves the future away from big gatekeepers and into the hands of a global group focused on shared benefits.

As Janet Adams puts it, decentralization is not just another option; it is the only real path to safe and beneficial superintelligence. As we get closer to AGI, joining open, community-led efforts could be our best way to make sure AI helps all of humanity.
