Ep 196: "What if you owned your Ai?" with Matt Wright

What if the AI shaping your future didn’t belong to Big Tech — but to you? In this eye-opening episode of Entrepreneurial Thinkers, Rob sits down with Matt Wright, co-founder and CEO of Gaia, to unpack the hidden power dynamics behind today’s AI boom. From who really owns your data to how open-source AI could level the playing field, Matt explains why decentralization may be the key to a more ethical and human-centered tech future. Together, they explore how AI agents are already automating work, how individuals can build and control their own AI tools, and why community-owned models could change entrepreneurship forever. Whether you’re a founder, creator, or just AI-curious, this conversation challenges you to rethink who AI works for — and how you can use it without giving up your privacy, autonomy, or voice.
