Digital assets and artificial intelligence may form a “symbiotic relationship” in the future, according to U.S. Representative Tom Emmer. This was reported by The Block.
“The connection between AI and digital assets seems necessary and inevitable to me. In fact, a symbiotic relationship may develop between them in the future,” he noted.
The politician’s comments were made during a House Financial Services Committee hearing focused on AI innovation research.
Emmer believes blockchain technology can be used to enhance the reliability of data used in AI models, while decentralization could mitigate security issues related to a single point of failure.
Emmer sought the opinion of Scale AI’s CTO Vijay Karunamurti on using blockchain as a tool for ensuring data veracity.
“For us, observation, monitoring, and finding authoritative sources of information are becoming increasingly important. Therefore, whether we talk about blockchain or digital identity solutions, they all play a crucial role in ensuring data accuracy and relevance,” Karunamurti replied.
Earlier, Bernstein experts noted that miners are attractive partners for AI companies due to their access to power sources and operational capabilities.
Back in June, Bitwise analyst Juan Leon predicted a $20 trillion increase in global GDP driven by cryptocurrencies and AI.
Ben Goertzel, CEO of the decentralized AI network SingularityNET, believes that artificial intelligence and blockchain are bringing humanity closer to a transhumanist future.
