On September 18, CoinDesk reported the official launch of the Decentralized AI Alliance (DAIS), a coalition of eight founding members formed to address the potential for tech giants to monopolize the AI industry. The eight founding members of DAIS are CETI AI, Filecoin Foundation, Bloq, Hypercycle, Morpheus, Hemi, Odyssey, and Lumerin.

DAIS Chair Michael Casey, previously CoinDesk Chief Content Officer and Consensus conference chair, stated during the Token2049 blockchain conference in Singapore that the decentralized AI community recognizes the significant head start centralized platforms have gained in the AI era, controlling all data, computing power, and even influencing regulators.

The organization plans to tackle these challenges through four key initiatives: attracting capital for decentralized AI, participating in the development of AI regulatory policies, promoting decentralized AI education, and developing new algorithms for distributed learning models.
