# Why ELNA

### The World Needs Decentralized AI

Decentralizing AI is aimed at democratizing access to AI, beyond the confines of large, centralized entities. This helps mitigate risks related to data privacy, bias, and control, facilitating a more collaborative and inclusive ecosystem where developers and users can contribute to and benefit from AI advancements. This democratization is crucial for fostering global innovation, enhancing trust in AI systems, and ensuring that AI operates in the public interest, leading to more equitable and sustainable technological progress.

### Best Way to Decentralize AI is - Blockchain

Running AI on the blockchain is the best way to do it, since it's a secure, immutable, and transparent environment for deploying AI applications, ensuring that operations are verifiable and tamper-proof. This integration not only enhances the trustworthiness of AI solutions but also opens up new avenues for creating decentralized applications (DApps) that are intelligent, responsive, and highly secure. 

### AI on Blockchain- Possible only if a Platform offers Infrastructure 

This is ELNA. The platform that offers the essential infrastructure required to orchestrate AI tools and models on the blockchain. This comprehensive ecosystem includes an on-chain prompt engine, a vector database, and seamless integration with both on-chain and off-chain large language model (LLM) inference engines, as well as integration tools to interface the agent with external applications.
