Paolo Ardoino, the CEO of Tether, has shared information after OpenAI was hacked: protecting people and their privacy won’t happen until AI models are localized.
In a recent tweet on X, Ardoino, says, “OpenAI seems to have been hacked a while ago. Scary.” Paolo Ardoino emphasizes the importance of locally executable AI models as crucial for protecting individuals’ privacy and ensuring resilience and independence.
He claims that current laptops and smartphones have the computing power to exploit user data to optimize general large language models (LLMs), and that these improvements are saved locally on the device.
This setup enhances security by keeping data local and enables offline use, empowering users with powerful AI-driven experiences while maintaining full control over their information.
Following Tether’s recent announcement of its AI growth, Ardoino stated that the business is “actively exploring” the inclusion of locally executable models into its AI offerings.
Paolo described locally executable AI models as a paradigm shift for user privacy and independence. These models operate directly on users’ devices, such as smartphones or laptops, eliminating the need for third-party servers. This is in reaction to a recent hack that OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, encountered.
Additionally, KoinX posted on the X, underscoring the hack on OpenAI, which has highlighted vulnerabilities inherent in centralized AI models.
KoinX added that this incident has fueled a growing demand for decentralizing AI technologies, as organizations seek to enhance security and resilience in the face of increasing cyber threats.
