Summit on Decentralization and AI �Aug 3, 2025 at UC Berkeley

Hosted by Berkeley RDI, the 3rd annual Summit on Decentralization & AI brings together researchers, innovators, thought leaders, and builders to explore responsible innovation in decentralization and AI for the benefit of humanity. The event will focus on how AI/ML and decentralization technologies can complement each other and how to develop a fully decentralized, open-source AI/ML stack. Topics include decentralized ML infrastructure (training, inference, provenance, and integrity guarantees), open-source data, models, and tools, personalized AI with privacy and trust, and democratic, decentralized AI governance.

This summit serves as a platform for researchers from diverse fields—AI/ML, security, privacy, game theory, economics, and decentralization technology—to collaborate and advance discussions in this evolving space. ��Previous summits have demonstrated significant interest, with the 2024 NYC event drawing over 500 in-person attendees and thousands viewed the livestream, and the 2023 UC Berkeley summit attracting over 1,000 in-person attendees and ~10K viewed the livestream!
