About Decentralized AI Days ℹ
Decentralized AI Days are community-driven events exploring how open, decentralized AI and Web3 can work together in practice. We bring together engineers, researchers, and builders for a day of technical talks, hands-on workshops, and honest conversation - no hype, no sales pitches, and no pay-to-play.
The ecosystem we care about includes projects such as Numerai and CrowdCent. The door is open to anyone building with or curious about decentralized AI. Come for the substance, stay for the community.
