[Unblock Media] Recently, the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology has been receiving significant attention. Marc Andreessen (co-founder of a16z) foresaw the potential of this trend, explaining the background of its innovative development and future direction.
In an a16z podcast, Marc Andreessen mentioned "AI hackers" and the "Simulator Theory," indicating important directions for the advancement of AI technology. AI hackers are creatively exploring technology like early internet hackers, seeking new applications beyond existing confines. This plays a crucial role in expanding the boundaries of technology and developing better AI models.
The Zenis, Karan, and Nous research teams are notable representatives of these AI hackers, presenting innovative experiments and research results through various public events and research papers. The Zenis team recently published research that significantly increased the efficiency of deep learning models, while Nous Research is gaining attention for their decentralized AI model experiments using blockchain technology. They are contributing to making traditionally closed AI models more accessible to the public.
The issuance of the $GOAT token is a prime example of the convergence of AI and crypto technology. This token provides funding to AI researchers, injecting new energy into the crypto community. Particularly through smart contracts on the blockchain, AI researchers can secure funding and disseminate their results widely, playing a crucial role in accelerating the mutual development of AI and crypto technology.
The introduction of the swarm concept involves AI agents collaborating to form a decentralized network, learning together, and maximizing efficiency. VentureBeat evaluated that the swarm concept provides an important foundation for constructing better learning efficiency and decentralized networks through the collaboration of multiple AI agents and their integration with blockchain technology. This structure is highly likely to advance further through the combination of AI and crypto technology.
There is also progress in integrating with decentralized social platforms. For example, platforms like Farcaster are overcoming the limitations of existing social media and managing user data more securely. CoinDesk analyzed that Farcaster offers the possibility of integrating with decentralized AI models, expecting safer and more efficient data management.
Marc Andreessen’s vision goes beyond mere technological potential to offering a creative environment where innovators can experiment freely. The convergence of crypto and AI is expected to affect both technology and society significantly through more experiments and collaborations in the future. The current challenge of AI-crypto convergence lies in the complexities of data management and the security issues of decentralized networks, necessitating ongoing improvements in these technological developments.
