AI and Crypto: Countering Centralization | Casey Caruso & Daniel Shorr
In this episode, host Santi dives into AI and it's intersection with Crypto. Joined by Casey and Daniel, they investigate AI's key innovations, centralizing tendency, and the importance of zero-knowledge proofs in merging AI and crypto. They address the potential challenges and opportunities presented by decentralized networks and GPUs. The chat extends to AI regulation, non-deterministic AI's issues in production, and AI model insurance. Stay tuned for all of this and much more!

Zero-Knowledge AI: The Frontier of Cryptography | Zuzalu #2
Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. In this 8-episode series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers in new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running.
This video features two conversations with big-brain builders Daniel Shorr of ZKML and Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation. Although cryptography quickly falls down a technical rabbit hole, it looks like we're entering a new golden age of cryptography.
Keep an eye out as we roll out the rest of these boundary-pushing episodes!
