Erik Voorhees, a prominent figure in the crypto space and former CEO of ShapeShift, has launched a revolutionary artificial intelligence platform called Venice.

This innovative platform prioritizes user privacy and offers services like generative conversation and image creation, all while ensuring that no user data is stored or exploited.

Voorhees, serving as CEO, has assembled a team of six, including COO Teana Baker-Taylor, a seasoned expert in policy and regulatory strategy. Notably, Venice operates independently, with Voorhees as the sole investor, eliminating the need for external funding.

Venice's commitment to privacy and user sovereignty is unwavering, although it's not a crypto app. Instead, it harnesses blockchain technology for secure, permissionless payments and web3 infrastructure for local browser storage and end-to-end encryption. Additionally, Venice utilizes the Morpheus decentralized AI network, offering free Pro accounts to MOR token holders.

Teana Baker-Taylor, a passionate advocate for privacy, emphasized, "Privacy is a fundamental human right, threatened by governments and commercial models that exploit our data. At Venice, we respect our users' autonomy and refuse to spy, store, or sell their data or ideas." With Venice, the focus is on empowering users, not exploiting their information.
