Cryptographer Interviewed with a distributed AI expert Janet Adams I’m the COO of singularitynet.
1 \. The ASI Alliance has announced Asi Cloud. Could you explain what it is, how it distinguishes itself from centralized AI cloud products, and what problems it solves for businesses and developers?
ASI clouds are not separate walled gardens, they are unauthorized AI clouds. Developers instantly provide wallet-based access to enterprise-grade GPUs and open-source models at transparent, pay-per-ken prices. Lock-in, Fiat only, KYC barriers only – just scalable AI infrastructure designed for Web3 builders and businesses.
2 \. We mentioned two more launches: Asi Chain and ASI Create. Please give us an exclusive preview of what they are designed to do and how they fit into the broader vision of the ASI ecosystem.
ASI chains pin AI workloads directly to smart contracts, making them computable and programmable. ASI Create is a layer in Builder. A tool to design, tweak and deploy AI agents using encrypted knowledge graphs, multimodality, and full ownership. Together with the ASI cloud, it forms a reliable, unstoppable stack that can be used, trusted, and unstoppable with distributed AI.
3\. How will AI transform the way businesses operate in the next five years, especially compared to today’s centralized AI landscape?
Today, businesses borrow AI from Hyperschool under opaque pricing and vendor lock-in. In five years, decentralized AI looks like a verifiable calculation, predictable costs, and an open marketplace that AI agent companies can actually own. Shifting from AI-consuming products to a co-created ecosystem.
4 \. You are a powerful advocate for ethical AI. What mechanisms and principles should guide decentralized AI networks and ensure that they remain fair, transparent and beneficial to society?
Decentralized AI must be dominated by pricing transparency, computational verifiability, and open access to models. The mechanism is not just a company’s promise, but also a guarantee of encryption. The ethics of AI are not white papers, they are architecture.
5 \. As you led the regulations of HSBC in 60 countries, how will your financial services and regulatory experience shape your perspective on decentralized AI adoption and compliance?
As it worked across 60 jurisdictions, we consider decentralization a benefit of compliance. A distributed infrastructure allows you to embed transparency, auditability and data sovereignty in your design. Instead of forcing AI into an outdated, regulated form, regulators are actually building a trustworthy AI cloud.
6 \. Can we share specific examples of how AI in distributed infrastructures can address real-world business challenges more than centralized models?
Startups can spin up their GPUs every hour, pay with Stablecoins, and avoid burning months of negotiations for hyperscalar contracts. Enterprises can benchmark multiple open source LLMs with full visibility into cost and performance. Distributed AI reduces the friction that concentrate clouds create bottlenecks.
7 \. What role will the ASI Alliance play in the global AI race in the future? And how do initiatives like Asi Cloud, Chain and Create accelerate the path to artificial tension?
AI races do not need to win a winner. The ASI Alliance is building connectivity organizations. Creation for clouds for computing, verifiable execution chains, and agent designs. Together they will accelerate the path to artificial tensions tailored to the interests of humanity.
