Arif Khan is the CEO and CoFounder of Alethea AI, a research and development studio building at the intersection of generative AI and blockchain.

In this episode, Arif shares why he believes we can avoid a future of "AI colonialism" with decentralized, community-owned AI, powered by DeFi and Web3. Arif has been working with two transformative technologies for years: artificial intelligence and crypto. He shares a strong conviction for why we can ensure many, instead of a few elites, benefit from the impact of AI by leveraging the decentralized, permissionless infrastructure of Web3.
