In this episode of the 0G podcast, Jax Dwyer sits down with Matt Wright, co-founder and CEO of Gaia, to discuss the rise of decentralized AI, autonomous agents, and the future of onchain intelligence. They dive into Gaia’s approach to validated inference, the limitations of centralized AI models, and how Web3 can power AI agents with sovereignty and economic incentives. Matt also shares insights on the MotherDAO initiative, the inevitable rise of AI-driven organizations, and why the next billion-dollar startup might be run entirely by agents.

Tune in to explore the intersection of crypto, AI, and the future of work.
