Travis Oliphant, creator of NumPy, explains the dangers of centralized AI.
Everyone Is Talking About AI. Almost No One Is Talking About What Matters Most.
AI Is Changing Everything. Ownership Will Decide Who Benefits.
As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes business, society, and the global economy, one question is becoming increasingly important: Who will own the future of AI? In a rare move, The Solari Report has removed its paywall to make Catherine Austin Fitts’ conversation with OpenTeams CEO and NumPy creator Travis Oliphant freely available to the public – recognizing that the ideas explored in this discussion are too important to limit to their subscribers alone.
In this conversation, Travis and Catherine move beyond the headlines to examine the choices that will determine whether AI becomes a tool that concentrates power in the hands of a few or expands opportunity to the masses. They explore why open-source AI matters, how transparency and ownership influence innovation, and what businesses, investors, developers, policymakers, and everyday citizens should understand as AI becomes foundational infrastructure.
Whether you’re building with AI, investing in its future, or simply trying to understand how this technology will shape the world around you, this is one of the defining conversations of the moment. Open to all.
