PAI3 Launches Decentralized AI Hardware Node to Advance Community-Controlled Infrastructure
London, England, September 10th, 2025, Chainwire
A community-owned infrastructure designed to give individuals and businesses greater control over their data, enhance trust in AI systems, and participate in the growing AI economy, projected to reach $7 trillion.
PAI3, a decentralized AI network, today announced the launch of its flagship hardware device, the PAI3 Power Node, marking a key development in the expansion of its community-powered network. Designed to reimagine the ownership, governance, and accountability of artificial intelligence, PAI3 offers an alternative to centralized AI giants building trillion-dollar data centers that treat people as products.
“At PAI3, we believe artificial intelligence should be accountable to people, not corporations,” said Pradeep Goel, CEO at PAI3. “We’re doing for AI what Bitcoin did for money – creating a system that is decentralized, transparent, and owned by the community.”
The Problem With Centralized AI
Today’s AI systems are optimized for scale and profit – not for privacy, security, or individual trust. Professionals across industries face massive risks:
- Doctors cannot upload patient records to public AI without violating confidentiality.
- Lawyers cannot risk exposing sensitive case files to opaque black-box models.
- Businesses face reputational and financial liability when they rely on AI systems with no transparency or recourse.
In addition to data security concerns, centralized AI systems raise broader societal issues related to influence and control. With access to extensive personal datasets, AI systems managed by centralized entities may have the capacity to impact public opinion and behavior, often without the explicit awareness of users.
The PAI3 Alternative: Accountable Intelligence
PAI3 flips the model by bringing AI to users’ data – rather than sending private data to corporate clouds. The network is built on three non-negotiable pillars:
- Privacy — AI runs locally on personal devices and PowerNodes.
- Transparency — Every AI agent has a verifiable history of who built, trained, and signed off on it.
- Financial Accountability — A community-backed risk-sharing pool provides real guarantees if an agent fails or causes harm.
This framework turns AI from an unpredictable gamble into a system people can trust, insure, and rely on.
Introducing the PAI3 Power Node
Participation in the network is made possible through the PAI3 Power Node, a high-performance hardware device that enables individuals to run a piece of the decentralized infrastructure. Each Power Node:
- Delivers enterprise-grade AI power with a 20-core GPU.
- Can earn operators 150,000 PAI3 tokens over three years.
- Is strictly limited to 3,141 units, ensuring scarcity and early ownership opportunities.
- Users can watch the video to see how the PAI3 Power Node works and why it’s a game-changer for decentralized AI:
A Choice Between Two Futures
The AI industry stands at a crossroads. One path leads to trillion-dollar corporate data centers where individuals and businesses are users, not owners. The other leads to the PAI3 network, where community members own and govern the infrastructure of AI itself.
“This isn’t about tweaking today’s AI – it’s about a bottom-up revolution in how AI is built and who benefits from it,” added Praddep Goel. “The question is simple: in a world where AI will shape everything from jobs to politics, do you want to be just a user—or an owner?”
