According to Simon Kim from Hashed, the next phase in artificial intelligence development could be marked by a significant change: dismantling the closed systems similar to OpenAI and establishing an open, transparent AI ecosystem that leverages blockchain technology.
For Kim, who heads South Korea’s top cryptocurrency venture capital firm, the need for action is evident. If left unchecked, the centralization of AI could lead to a being we can’t comprehend, resembling a deity. On the other hand, blockchain technology provides the means to recognize and compensate creators, safeguard intellectual property, and bring transparency to generative AI – an area that has faced significant criticism due to its inherent biases and selective reasoning.
The focus on AI is increasingly concentrated, with OpenAI being one example of this trend. Unfortunately, OpenAI isn’t open to the public and is governed by just a few individuals, which raises concerns about its safety. Building such a [closed-source] fundamental model resembles creating a ‘deity’, yet we remain unaware of its inner workings,” he stated during an interview with CoinDesk.
Kim contends that AI models such as Meta’s Llama demonstrate the possibility of creating AI systems with a focus on decentralization and transparency.
However, he points out that the absence of strong motivational structures encouraging data providers (internet users) continues to be an unresolved issue.
According to Kim, AI models are simply gathering information from the internet and providing responses without crediting or rewarding the original authors.
Kim proposes that we resolve this issue through the creation of a “rights management system” which allows content creators to monitor and track the usage – and repeated use – of their content by AI, while also receiving compensation during this process.
Hashed believes they’ve discovered a resolution using Story, a copyright management protocol which they recently invested in during the Series-B funding round last year.
So far, the fund hasn’t directly invested in any decentralized AI initiatives, but it plans to gain a foothold in this area through its investment in Story.

Kim went on to say, “It’s crucial that we implement an intellectual property system built on blockchain technology to reward the initial creator as well as those who remix their work.
Many individuals, including Mark Zuckerberg from Meta and the Editorial Board of The Economist, are increasingly advocating for open-source AI development. They believe that the enigmatic nature of closed-source AI, often likened to an inscrutable deity, must be dismantled for the industry to advance.
But its up to Kim to convince them that the solution lies in blockchain and crypto.
