Gavin Wood’s Vision to Reclaim Truth in the Age of AI

This 25-minute documentary was filmed during the JAM Tour 2025, a global initiative led by Pala Labs and Dr. Gavin Wood, visiting 9 key locations—including top universities and innovation hubs across Asia—to engage the next generation of builders with the vision behind JAM: the Joint Accumulated Machine.

In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and opaque algorithmic systems, this documentary explores the growing tension between truth and trust, machine and human, centralization and sovereignty.

???? Key Themes Explored:

How AI systems, while powerful, increase reliance on black-box models and reduce individual agency by demanding trust in opaque infrastructures.

Why Web3 technologies are vital to re-establish truth in the digital realm, offering verifiability, transparency, and user sovereignty.

Dr. Gavin Wood’s personal and intellectual journey—from childhood fascination with systems to architecting Ethereum, Polkadot, and now JAM.

JAM as a next-generation decentralized supercomputer protocol, combining Polkadot’s scalable cryptoeconomic foundations with Ethereum’s programmability.

Through voices of students, developers, and core implementers, the film presents a deeply human view of the Web3 movement: one not driven by hype cycles or speculation, but by long-term thinking and a desire to build resilient systems that serve people—not platforms.
