Morpheus, one of many blockchain projects aiming to decentralize artificial intelligence, is out in the wild, the team behind it announced on Monday on X (formerly Twitter).
Like other decentralized AI networks, Morpheus seeks to limit the negative side effects of AI, such as centralization, censorship, and monopolistic control over data.
Similar decentralized AI projects include Bittensor, dAIOS and Boltzmann Network. Morpheus recently joined the Decentralized AI Society, a trade group focused on this about the fight against the tech giants who have enormous control over AI data.

Morpheus was built using the code base for Lumerin, a protocol that runs on the Arbitrum blockchain (which itself is a layer-2 running on top of Ethereum, the largest smart contract network).
Morpheus went live on a public testnet or a simulated experimental environment in July. The project promises personal AIs, also known as ‘smart agents,” which can empower individuals just as personal computers and search engines have done in decades past. Agents can, among other things, “execute smart contracts, connect to users’ Web3 wallets, DApps, and smart contracts,” it said team.
