Ethereum Foundation: The AI strategic goal of Ethereum is to become the coordination and verification layer of the AI world
According to CoinDesk, Davide Crapis, head of AI at the Ethereum Foundation, stated that Ethereum's goal is not to merge with AI at the computational level, but to become a coordination and verification layer for the AI world. He pointed out that as more digital activities are handled by AI systems, if these systems are controlled by centralized entities, the values advocated by the crypto movement, such as decentralization, self-sovereignty, anti-censorship, and privacy, will be eroded.
Ethereum's AI strategy includes two main directions: first, decentralized AI coordination, providing infrastructure for identity recognition, trust establishment, and payment exchange for increasingly popular AI agents, allowing agents to discover each other, assess reputation, and route payments through public registries via standards like ERC-8004; second, introducing core principles such as privacy, openness, and anti-censorship into the AI field, promoting more AI processing to occur locally on user devices, allowing users to retain control over their data and identity.
Crapis emphasized that in a future where AI can impersonate humans, cryptographic keys will become even more important. Even if Ethereum does not provide the "brain" of AI, it can help govern its operating environment.
