⚡ Vitalik Buterin Explores Cryptocurrency and AI in a New Article
posted 30 Jan 2024
Ethereum's founder, Vitalik Buterin, recently published an article titled "The promise and challenges of crypto + AI applications." He delves into the convergence of blockchain and AI technologies, highlighting key areas like data management, transparency, monetization, and cost reduction.
He breaks down AI into several categories relevant to decentralized technology, including AI agents (like trading bots and forecasting systems), AI interfaces (for security and data validation), and AI arbitrators (blockchain oracles and smart contract components). Buterin points out the strengths and limitations of each type.
In his conclusion, Vitalik advises a cautious approach to implementing artificial intelligence. He believes that the open-source model, common in crypto projects, is not suitable for large-scale machine learning systems due to the vulnerability it brings, exposing the AI models' structure and training data, thus making them prone to tailored machine learning attacks.
