The post Tether CEO Unveils Ambitious Open-Source AI Project — Here’s What It Means appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, has announced the company’s entry into artificial intelligence with a project called Tether AI. This isn’t just another AI chatbot or cloud-based tool, it’s a vision of a decentralized, open-source future for AI, and it’s built with crypto ( Bitcoin and USDT ) in mind.
No Central Control, No Gatekeepers
At the heart of the project is something called “Personal Infinite Intelligence”, a fully open-source AI runtime that can run on any device or hardware — no cloud dependency, no API keys, and most importantly, no single point of control.
That means anyone, anywhere, can deploy and run their own AI system, without needing permission or paying ongoing fees to centralized providers.
This model challenges the growing trend of closed-off, corporate-controlled AI services. While most AI tools today rely heavily on large cloud systems from big tech companies, Tether’s version aims to put the power back into the hands of individuals and developers.
