Ethereum Foundation Co-Executive Director Tomaz explains: AI x Ethereum – Hype or Trend? @tkstanczak believes that as AI scales up, Web3 will become the key foundation for ensuring trust, privacy, and authenticity. In the short term, the AI industry may not urgently need Web3, but as data becomes an asset and privacy risks increase, the value of Web3 will gradually emerge. AI inherently relies on digital assets, and Web3 can provide trusted execution, privacy protection, and decentralized guarantees, especially in institutional-grade applications where it is irreplaceable. In the future, when misinformation becomes rampant and authenticity becomes scarce, users will actively pay for 'trustworthy data,' making the integration of AI and Web3 an inevitable trend.
