Tricia Wang

Tricia Wang is on a relentless quest to ensure technology serves humanity. She is the CEO of Decentralized AI Society (DAIS), an industry organization accelerating the adoption of decentralized AI.

Her unique position, bridging established enterprise and the decentralized future, is built on a foundation of pioneering work. She most recently co-founded the industry's first-of-its-kind research lab, CRADL (Crypto Research and Design Lab), charting how decentralized technologies fundamentally empower individuals and communities through data ownership.

Decades ago, Tricia uniquely foresaw that data from people—her potent "thick data," championed in her influential TED Talk (over 2M views) and widely published works—would fuel AI's rise. Drawing on this deep understanding, Tricia co-founded and led Sudden Compass, a consultancy that became a trusted partner for Fortune 500 companies seeking to transform their data from being a cost to a strategic asset for customer insights and growth.

Tricia contributes to vital research and academic networks through affiliations with institutions like Harvard's Berkman Klein Center, and previously NYU, the Atlantic Council, and the WEF. She is also a keynote speaker and writer. Learn more at triciawang.com [triciawang.com].
