BlockBeats news, on November 25, in an interview with Tencent (Qianwang), Ethereum co-founder Vitalik expressed his views on the intersection of the Crypto and AI industries, stating:
"Crypto can create a game that executes game rules more safely using smart contracts, and AI can participate in this game. If only humans participate, sometimes the efficiency is not high enough. For example, in the prediction market, I played a lot on Polymarket this year. I found that the quality of their results was not very high four years ago, but this year it is much higher than four years ago. Why? One reason is that there is more liquidity. Last year it might have been 1 million, or 10 million dollars, this year it could be 100 million or 200 million. But I also found that this year in matters with smaller liquidity, the answers are also quite good. So, it is very likely that AI is participating now. The reaction speed of AI is very fast. A person doing this would need to be on the computer 24 hours a day, watching all the news every minute and every second. But a LLM, you let it run, it can do it by itself. I believe there will be more examples in the future, possibly in the social field, possibly in other fields. Crypto is a secure foundation, and through Crypto, we can create a game that ensures the rules of the game are fair. The role of AI is to participate."
In addition, he mentioned: "If you want to see how Crypto can save the world? It can't just be Crypto, but Crypto + some other things. So, what is Crypto +? The first possibility is Crypto + Decentralized AI; the second possibility is Crypto + a technology that can replace AI."
Finally, he believes: "If issuing a coin and creating an exchange is the only thing we do, then this industry has failed. Before this year, transaction fees were too high, some important technologies were not mature, account security issues were unresolved, privacy issues were unresolved, and many problems were unresolved. So, before this year, our industry did not have enough technology to create applications that ordinary people could participate in. The only successful application is DeFi, and one reason for that is because DeFi can earn more money. This year, we finally started to address these issues. This year is the best time to create meaningful applications."
