Open AGI Summit Set to Return to ETHDenver with AWS Startups as an Official Partner
Denver, Colorado, February 20th, 2025, Chainwire
Returning to ETHDenver on February 26th, the Open AGI Summit will bring together industry leaders to explore the intersection of AI, blockchain, and the evolving landscape of AGI.
This year’s summit, presented in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Sentient, will discuss the transformative potential of AI agents, decentralized finance AI (DeFAI), decentralized AI infrastructure (DeAI Infra), and the role of blockchain in creating a more open, transparent, and accessible AI ecosystem.
As AI continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, the Open AGI Summit aims to address one of the most pressing questions of our time: Who will control the future of AI? Will it be dominated by a handful of corporations, or will it be an open, decentralized ecosystem that empowers innovation and equitable access for all?
Sandeep Nailwal, Co-founder of Polygon and Core Contributor to Sentient, expressed his excitement for the event, stating:
“As AI continues to advance at an unprecedented rate, we face a critical decision. Do we allow a handful of corporations to dominate this powerful technology, creating a closed world where innovation is stifled and benefits are concentrated? Or do we choose a future where AI is open, transparent, and accessible to all, fostering a more equitable and prosperous society? Blockchain technology offers the promise of such an open world, ensuring that the benefits of AI are distributed fairly and that its development is guided by collective values.”
What to Expect at the Summit
Attendees will gain valuable insights from a distinguished lineup, with previous events featuring speakers such as Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum Co-Founder) and Balaji Srinivasan (former Coinbase CTO). Set to speak at the Denver summit are:
- Brad Feinstein, Head of Web3 Startups at AWS

- Illia Polosukhin, Co-Founder of NEAR Protocol

…and more to be announced soon.
The summit will bring together developers, researchers, and thought leaders to tackle the ethical and technological challenges in the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions about AI loyalty, decentralization, governance, and the long-term impact of AI and crypto on society.
