Decentralized AI is Essential for AGI, Says Sentient Co-Founder

Himanshu Tyagi, co-founder of Sentient, believes decentralized AI is essential for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI).

He argues that centralized data models are limited, and only decentralized, open, incentivized systems can collect valuable human data. Which is key for AGI. Tyagi also emphasizes the importance of collaborative model training and decentralized ownership for overcoming AI development challenges. Sentient’s commitment to open-source models aligns with this vision, offering tools like Sentient Chat to foster decentralized, community-driven AI innovation.

This approach, Tyagi argues, could disrupt traditional systems like Google by allowing AI agents to take direct actions instead of merely retrieving information.
