AI on the Blockchain: Building a Safer Digital Future with DecideAI 24:49

לפני 6 weeks24:49

24:49

Jesse Glass, Lead AI Researcher at DecideAI , steps into the spotlight at a moment when the stakes for AI and data privacy have never been higher. As AI systems race ahead, so do the risks—exposing sensitive data in ways most current tech simply isn’t built to defend. Enter the “zero trust” philosophy: a world where blockchain’s decentralized backbone eliminates the need for faith in third-party APIs, external hosts, or shadowy identity layers. In this episode, Jesse unpacks why trustless, decentralized systems are essential as AI moves into high-stakes territory—from medical diagnostics to supply chain risk management and data-sensitive language models. We’ll explore whether true AI-on-blockchain is finally within reach, or if the real magic happens when AI’s reasoning power teams up with blockchain’s immutable ledgers, leveraging oracles and agentic systems to keep data secure. Jesse shares his journey to DecideAI, the company’s vision for a safer, smarter digital future, and which blockchains are best suited for this next frontier. We’ll dig into the power of zero-knowledge proofs, strategies to outsmart Sybil attacks, and how the privacy-versus-verification debate is shaping the evolution of Ethereum and its rivals.

Proof Without Peeking: Human Passport and the Future of Blockchain Identity 22:14

לפני 7 weeks22:14

22:14

Imagine if verifying you’re human online didn’t mean giving up your privacy—or your entire transaction history. Today, blockchain’s biggest paradox is that while it promises trustless systems, it often leaves identities and wallets wide open, exposing users to everything from Sybil attacks to airdrop hunters. On platforms like Base, the Coinbase-backed Ethereum Layer 2 now outpacing Solana in daily transactions, the need for real, private user verification has never been greater. Enter Human Passport —formerly Gitcoin Passport—and its co-founder, Kyle Weiss . Their mission? To build the holy grail of blockchain identity: a way to prove you’re real, at scale, without KYC headaches or opaque algorithms. In this episode, we dive into how Human Passport is merging AI’s reasoning power with blockchain’s immutable transparency, using tools like zero-knowledge proofs to keep your data private but your identity verifiable. Kyle shares the story behind Human Passport, the invisible war for humanity playing out on-chain, and what the next era of privacy-first, bot-proof blockchain might look like. If you care about the future of digital identity—or just want to know how Web3 can finally keep the bots at bay—this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.

Beyond the Singularity: Anders Indset’s Guide to Staying Human 31:19

לפני 9 weeks31:19

31:19

Anders Indset is a philosopher for the digital age—a renowned author, business thinker, and trusted advisor to leaders navigating the complexities of tomorrow. With his latest book, "The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI," Anders delivers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most pressing questions of our era: How do we reconcile rapid technological advancement with our deepest human values? Anders’ journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring. Originally from Norway and now based in Germany, he has become a sought-after voice on the global stage, known for blending European philosophical tradition with sharp insights into technology, leadership, and the future of society. His previous works, including "Quantenwirtschaft" and "Wild Knowledge," have challenged readers to rethink economics, innovation, and the meaning of progress. In "The Singularity Paradox," Anders takes on the accelerating convergence of artificial intelligence and human life. He argues that while the singularity—the point at which AI surpasses human intelligence—offers unprecedented opportunities, it also presents profound risks and ethical dilemmas. Anders doesn’t see this as a distant sci-fi scenario, but as a present-day challenge demanding urgent reflection and action. His central philosophy is that technology must serve humanity, not the other way around. Anders calls for a new "philosophy of practical wisdom," urging us to cultivate what he terms "enlightened pragmatism." This means embracing innovation while remaining grounded in empathy, ethics, and the timeless quest for meaning. He warns against the dangers of technological determinism and advocates for what he calls "Homo obsoletus"—a recognition that our own obsolescence is only a risk if we fail to adapt, learn, and lead with purpose. Anders’ writing is both poetic and pragmatic, weaving together insights from philosophy, science, and business. He challenges leaders to bridge the gap between digital transformation and human flourishing, to ask not just what we can do with AI, but what we should do. His vision is one where technology amplifies our humanity, rather than diminishes it. As we stand on the threshold of the AI era, "The Singularity Paradox" is a must-read for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of this new world with wisdom, courage, and hope. Anders Indset reminds us that the future is not something that simply happens to us—it is something we have the power, and the responsibility, to shape.

No More Traffic Jams: Grigore Roșu on Fixing Blockchain’s Congestion 26:54

לפני 10 weeks26:54

26:54

Imagine a world where every street in a city speaks a different language, uses a different currency, and has its own quirky set of toll booths. Welcome to the current state of blockchain—a sprawling metropolis of over 1,000 networks and 16 million cryptocurrencies, most of them abandoned vehicles rusting by the curb. Navigating this chaotic landscape is like weaving through Manhattan traffic before congestion pricing—confusing, slow, and full of unexpected detours. Now, enter the cross-chain bridges—the overworked translators of this digital city. Some are robust, handling dozens of chains and hundreds of tokens; others, well, let’s just say their “security audits” might have been written in Comic Sans. It’s a mess, and the stakes are high. But what if there was a better way? What if we could bypass the traffic, break down the barriers, and create a blockchain city where everyone speaks the same language, and trust isn’t just a buzzword? That’s where today’s guest steps in. Meet Grigore Roșu : former NASA engineer, professor of computer science at the University of Illinois, and the brilliant mind behind the K Framework—a true “Rosetta Stone” for programming languages. As a day-one contributor to Ethereum and the founder of Runtime Verification, Grigore has spent his career making the digital world safer and smarter. Now, as Founder & CEO of Pi Squared, he’s tackling blockchain’s biggest challenge: interoperability without compromise. In this episode, we’ll dive into Grigore’s fascinating journey from NASA to Web3, explore how Pi Squared is building the missing trust layer for a truly modular and interoperable blockchain ecosystem, and ask the big questions: Do we really need all these L2s? What’s the future of AI agents on-chain? And can we finally achieve seamless, verifiable cross-chain computation—without bridges or centralized middlemen? If you’re a developer, crypto enthusiast, or just love a good story about solving impossible problems, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Get ready to rethink what’s possible in Web3—because with Grigore Roșu and Pi Squared, the road ahead just got a whole lot smoother. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

Tokenizing Trust: Sunny Lu (VeChain) and the Future of Real-World Blockchain 14:29

Toronto, Canada – Consensus 2025: Sunny Lu’s journey from IT executive to blockchain visionary is a remarkable story of foresight, innovation, and relentless pursuit of real-world impact. As the founder and CEO of VeChain, Sunny has become one of the most influential early entrants in the crypto space, recognized for pioneering the application of blockchain technology to enterprise supply chains and sustainability challenges. With a strong technical foundation—graduating from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and earning a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification—Sunny spent nearly two decades in senior IT roles at Fortune 500 companies, including Bacardi, 3M, and most notably Louis Vuitton, where he served as CIO. It was at Louis Vuitton that Sunny first encountered the complexities of global supply chains and the limitations of traditional data tracking. His leadership on the “Track and Trace” project inspired him to imagine a blockchain-powered platform that could provide transparency, trust, and efficiency across industries, not just within a single enterprise. Sunny’s fascination with Bitcoin and blockchain technology grew from curiosity to conviction as he realized their potential to solve real business problems. In 2015, he founded VeChain, initially building on Ethereum after a pivotal conversation with Vitalik Buterin. Under Sunny’s leadership, VeChain has evolved into a leading enterprise-grade blockchain, recognized for its unique two-token model, advanced Proof-of-Authority consensus, and a robust ecosystem of real-world applications. VeChain’s platform now powers solutions for global brands like Walmart China, BMW, and DNV, and is endorsed by major investors and even Chinese regulatory bodies. What sets Sunny apart is his ability to bridge technology and business. He is a vocal advocate for mass adoption, usability, and sustainability in blockchain. His latest vision is nothing short of transformative: tokenizing human behavior itself. Through initiatives like VeBetterDAO and partnerships with companies like Tesla, VeChain is now rewarding users for sustainable actions—such as recycling or driving electric vehicles—by turning these behaviors into measurable, on-chain assets. This approach not only incentivizes positive change but also democratizes access to blockchain’s benefits for everyday users, aided by AI-powered agents that make participation seamless and intuitive. Sunny’s expertise spans information systems, digital innovation, enterprise strategy, and the practical deployment of blockchain at scale. As VeChain enters its second decade, with milestones like the VeChain Renaissance upgrade and a roadmap toward onboarding a billion users, Sunny Lu’s foundational work continues to redefine what’s possible for crypto, supply chains, and the future of sustainable business. In essence, Sunny Lu is not just building technology—he’s architecting a more transparent, efficient, and sustainable digital economy, making him a foundational figure in the evolution of blockchain and Web3.
