Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, discusses local physical AI, decentralized machine intelligence, and the potential for collaboration with NEURA Robotics in conversation with a NEURA Robotics host.
Ardoino argues that intelligence should be built into everyday devices and run close to where decisions are needed. A car must react to its surroundings without waiting for a network connection; a care robot may also need to respond immediately. He says QVAC aims to make on-device AI more accessible, including in emerging markets.
The NEURA host describes a shared foundation for understanding the physical world while allowing companies to retain their specialized knowledge. The proposed “brain account” would let skills be shared among robots, with payments for access. Ardoino sees this as an economy of specialized agents exchanging expertise and computation.
The speakers imagine robots handling transactions such as ordering a pizza, while also exchanging skills to solve practical problems. Ardoino says robotics can help address labor shortages and that countries adopting it earlier may become more prosperous. He argues that people should be helped to build creative skills as technology changes work.
Ardoino connects transparent, auditable transactions and privacy protections with public trust in AI and robotics. He argues that Europe should build its own capabilities rather than rely on foreign systems that could be withdrawn. He also favors distributed intelligence, where independent devices collaborate without placing all knowledge and control in one system.
Ardoino describes Tether as a technology company focused on stability, pointing to USDT as a way for people in countries including Turkey and Argentina to access dollars. He wants that approach to inclusion extended to AI and robotics. The NEURA host says the partnership should help build technology that improves safety and everyday life.
