Polygon founder says AI will have impact but not consciousness

Polygon founder says AI will have impact but not consciousness

AI will significantly impact society but will not achieve consciousness, according to Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon (CRYPTO:MATIC) and Sentient.

Nailwal believes AI lacks the intention inherent in biological beings.

"I don't see that AI will have any significant level of conscience," he stated.

He also dismissed the doomsday scenario of AI becoming self-aware and dominating humanity.

Nailwal is critical of the theory that consciousness emerges randomly from complex chemical interactions.

He argues that while these processes create complex cells, they cannot generate consciousness.

Nailwal is concerned about centralised institutions misusing AI for surveillance and curtailing individual freedoms.

He advocates for transparent and democratised AI.

"That is my core idea for how I came up with the idea of Sentient, that eventually the global AI, which can actually create a borderless world, should be an AI that is controlled by every human being," according to Nailwal.  

He emphasises the need for custom AI for individuals to protect themselves from AIs deployed by powerful institutions.

In October 2024, AI company Anthropic released a paper outlining potential AI sabotage scenarios and solutions.

The paper concluded AI is not an immediate threat but could become dangerous as models advance.

David Holtzman, chief strategy officer of the Naoris decentralised security protocol, shares Nailwal's concerns about AI privacy risks.

Holtzman advocates for decentralisation as a safeguard against AI threats.

PIN AI (Personal Intelligence Network), which is backed by Nailwal, launched to give users control over their data.

It rejects data centralisation to ensure AI serves users and not Big Tech.

At the time of reporting, the Polygon (MATIC) price was $0.2856.
