We explore AI's role in healthcare, privacy tradeoffs, and why crypto rails are built more for machines than humans. With robots helping the elderly and blockchains coordinating machine teams, Jan makes the case for open, verifiable AI infrastructure governed on-chainAbout Jan LiphardtJan Liphardt is a visionary leader at the intersection of technology, AI, and robotics.
