In this thought-provoking session at TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025, Emad Mostaque, founder of Stability AI, explores the profound impact of artificial intelligence on global economies and societies. Highlighting the rapid advancements in AI's capabilities, Mostaque reveals the leap from last year's AI IQ of 90 to today's 120, signaling a pivotal shift in the intelligence landscape. He shares insights on AI's burgeoning role, spanning from medical expertise to coding, and delves into the socio-economic implications of AI-driven productivity and the diminishing labor-capital connection.
Mostaque emphasizes the need for open, transparent AI systems to prevent the inherent biases seen in current models, urging for increased public ownership and accessible infrastructure. He introduces the concept of decentralized AI, or "intelligent internet," advocating for community-driven customization and development. His vision includes the democratization of AI technology, with countries creating local stacks tailored to their specific needs, enabling a more equitable distribution of intelligence resources.
As AI becomes an integral part of everyday life, from governance to education, Mostaque calls for a robust, open-source foundation to ensure AI benefits humanity rather than a select few. He invites innovators and developers worldwide to participate in this transformative journey by utilizing and building upon these cutting-edge technologies.
