Forbes – Digital Assets – The article explores the emerging trend of Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (DAI), where machine learning systems are developed and operated across distributed networks, often leveraging blockchain technology. Unlike centralized models controlled by Big Tech, DAI gives more control to users and developers—but also introduces complex legal challenges.

Key issues include ownership of models and data, liability for outputs, and governance of collaborative systems where no single actor is responsible. The article points out that traditional regulatory frameworks are not yet prepared for this new model of AI deployment.

Legal experts interviewed stress the importance of developing standards for accountability, transparency, and dispute resolution in a decentralized context. The rise of DAI could significantly affect global debates on privacy, intellectual property, and digital sovereignty.
