Odaily Planet Daily reported that Chris Dixon, a managing partner at a16z crypto, stated on X: "Artificial intelligence needs blockchain-supported computing, and I am optimistic about the integration of these technologies. AI will end the internet as we know it. Its progress is inevitable and will primarily bring benefits. However, AI has already disrupted the economic contracts of the internet, with large tech companies most likely to benefit. AI-driven deep fakes and bots are also eroding people's trust in the online world. To address these challenges without slowing down AI innovation, blockchain can: - enforce ownership for users and creators - verify identities to isolate bots and impersonators - ensure authenticity to prevent tampering. Crypto can carry the torch of an open internet and help maintain its creativity, openness, and diversity."
