[Ethereum Foundation: Expanding University Investments, Warning of AI Governance Risks, Confirming L2 Diversity as a Long-Term Strategy] Foresight News reports that during the Devconnect ETHEREUM DAY livestream, Ethereum Foundation Co-Executive Director Tomasz Stanczak delivered a keynote speech titled 'EF & Ethereum Update.' Tomasz stated that the Ethereum Foundation will significantly expand its support for global universities and research institutions, covering schools in Asia, Latin America, and emerging regions, with a focus on cultivating the next generation of researchers in areas such as cryptography, privacy computing, and mechanism design. He noted that academia has long provided core talent reserves for Ethereum, and the foundation will allocate more resources in the future. On the governance front, Tomasz emphasized the structural risks brought by the AI era, stating that 'AI agents may squeeze the space for human governance,' which he sees as one of the most challenging issues Ethereum will face in the next decade. He urged the community to rethink governance models to address the complexities of this environment. Regarding the ecosystem structure, he pointed out that Ethereum will continue to maintain a diverse and competitive Layer 2 landscape. He believes that such volatility and experimentation are vital sources of ecosystem vitality, and the foundation will not push for a unified, single-path approach. He also mentioned that several global financial institutions are internally advancing the gradual migration of traditional finance toward blockchain and digital asset architectures. Tomasz expressed gratitude to the many builders contributing to the Ethereum ecosystem, stating that they form the foundation of Ethereum's actual growth. He emphasized that the key to Ethereum's next decade lies not in a single technological breakthrough but in the continued expansion of broader public goods. Tomasz concluded by encouraging more new developers to enter the ecosystem by starting with Ethereum.
