Erik Voorhees’ Venice AI Debuts Real Time Web Search Update

The decentralized Venice AI platform, launched in May, now uses the Brace API to provide up-to-date information from the web. This innovative development comes amid the spotlight on digital privacy worries. 

A Need for Privacy in the Evolving Digital World

Erik Voorhees, the founder of Shapeshift and his developer’s team introduced this latest AI model as a revolutionary answer to reshape online digital engagements. This new model is built on cryptographic fundamentals which aim to revolutionize the knowledge and the use of web-based AI technologies.  

In an X post, the Venice AI creator revealed that this new release is a substitute for centralized and censored AI models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude AI, and Google’s Gemini. He believes there was a need for decentralized options as AI was becoming overly centralized. He added that it was mostly controlled by tech giants.

Recently, crypto exchanges, and investment firms are beginning to ride on its potential to revolutionize their operations. Recently, top economist, Alex Kruger issued an advice to corporations to start investing in the technology.

He predicted that with the massive growth of AI, it is expected that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will become mainstream by 2027.
