Decentralized AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that operate on distributed networks rather than centralized servers or organizations. These systems combine blockchain technology with AI models to enable transparent, permissionless, and collaborative data processing and decision-making. Instead of relying on a single authority, decentralized AI allows multiple participants to contribute data, computing power, or models. In crypto, it is used to power applications such as autonomous agents, decentralized data markets, and trustless machine learning systems. This approach can improve data privacy, reduce single points of failure, and increase system transparency.
