Holtzman clarified in an <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/centralization-authoritarian-threat-privacy-web3-exec\">interview with Cointelegraph<\/a> that<em> \u201cthe whole problem with centralized systems is that there is a center.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He emphasized how centralized systems\u2019 one point of control makes them susceptible to misuse by governments and businesses. These weaknesses are made worse by emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing, which seriously jeopardize vital industries like banking, healthcare, and even military intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>To counter these challenges, Holtzman advocates for decentralizing AI through blockchain, which introduces human oversight. Additionally, quantum-resistant algorithms can safeguard sensitive information. Yet, he warns, institutional power remains a looming threat. <em>\u201cI think humanity is due for a bit of a shakeup because we\u2019ve given too much power to institutions in the last 50 years,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Blockchain and Privacy as Solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Advancements in blockchain and privacy-preserving protocols are seen as vital to mitigating future threats. Holtzman\u2019s views align with Avidan Abitbol, director of the Data Ownership Protocol, who stresses the importance of selective disclosure through zero-knowledge proofs. These proofs allow individuals to control their data while maintaining privacy on the blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2024, decentralized AI developers at Onicai also voiced concerns about AI products from big tech companies. They emphasized that decentralized AI is essential to protect self-sovereignty and ensure AI tools serve individuals rather than corporate interests.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong> Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
