In this week's installment of "Money Reimagined," hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren are joined by Jake Brukhman, CEO of CoinFund to discuss the intersection of AI and Web3. They explore the potential of decentralized computing and AI, the AI pipeline, and the benefits of bringing Web3 to AI. Brukhman breaks down the importance of decentralization in AI infrastructure and its impact on the finance industry.

Hosts delve into the Google Gemini flub and the biases embedded in AI algorithms, the concept of tech neutrality and customization, and the Worldcoin project, highlighting its role in creating civil resistant accounts and its potential applications in fair value distribution, voting systems, and social media governance.
