Bringing Ownership to Generative AI

Our mission is to use artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies to enable democratic and decentralized ownership of AI. We believe that this will be the key to unlocking the full potential of AI and that it will ultimately benefit humanity as a whole.

Our Philosophy

As mankind embarks on a new era with artificial intelligence, it is indisputable that its evolution must benefit humanity as a whole. We believe that only the democratization of AI can truly ensure that.

The evolution of AI needs a layer of truth, like blockchain, to empower individuals through equitable incentivization, democratized access, and distribution of its benefits.

With an aim to create a meaningful future, Alethea AI is building at the intersection of AI and blockchain to enable democratic and decentralized ownership of AI.
