"Famous as an early advocate of "digital gold," and for launching franchises like CoinDesk and Grayscale, billionaire Barry Silbert shared his newest passion at Fortune's Brainstorm Tech conference in Park City, Utah. "I believe that the next big wave in crypto is going to be the convergence of AI and crypto," said Silbert, who is the founder and CEO of crypto conglomerate Digital Currency Group, on a Tuesday panel."
"It's a project called Bittensor, a decentralized marketplace for AI founded by Jacob Steeves, a former Google engineer. Silbert is so excited about Bittensor that he's started a new company called Yuma that's dedicated to the protocol and its associated cryptocurrency TAO. "I want to open up the development and the access to AI and Bitensor is enabling that," he said. "It is the thing that I've gotten most excited about since Bitcoin.""
