Listen "Why Decentralized Information Is the Next DeFi. Billy Luedtke on The Future of AI and Web3 Data"

Episode Synopsis

What happens when AI, blockchain, and decentralized identity merge into a single system for human + machine knowledge? In this Grownlearn episode, host Zorina Dimitrova sits down with Billy Luedtke (ex-EY, ConsenSys, MetaMask) — now founder & CEO of Intuition Systems, the first blockchain network purpose-built for information finance.

Billy breaks down:
• Why decentralized information is the next frontier beyond DeFi
• How Intuition’s decentralized knowledge graph lets humans and AI trust the same data
• Why tokenized information, decentralized search, and identity will reshape society
• What lessons from Ethereum’s early days shaped his vision
• How Intuition gives users ownership & monetization rights over their data
• Why centralized AI + search could lead to a dystopian future — and how we prevent it

If you’re building in Web3, AI, DeFi, decentralized identity, or data infrastructure, this episode gives a rare look into the architecture and philosophy behind one of the most ambitious projects in the Web3 space.
