Insights from AIApexAsia** The AIApexAsia event took place on June 5. **Michael** was inspired to create **0G labs** by the need to create an open, decentralized and transparent AI ecosystem that prevents data silos and the monopoly of large tech companies. Michael emphasized the importance of creating an “invisible infrastructure” for #Web3 and decentralized technologies. The goal of 0G is to provide the underlying infrastructure for the development and deployment of AI, ensuring that AI remains private, open and transparent and accessible to all. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/98134dbbd113d014162757f74ea07ed56827bb6a62d3bb17d9f6908eff89b150.jpg) * * * ### **3\. 0G x Ten AMA** We’re hosting an AMA with **Michae**l from 0G and engineers **Jobin** and **Anthony Nixon** from Ten Protocol.
