Why AI x Crypto
ML models are inherently vulnerable; altering just one weight among billions of parameters can lead to inaccurate results. Robust solutions are needed to verify the correctness of ML inferences before widespread adoption. Further advancements include decentralized networks with incentives inspired by the NFT market and advanced stablecoins yielding profits for AI users, promoting an economy where funds earn interest when not deployed for AI services. Beyond Ethereum, this AI revolution is extending to Bitcoin, with developers crafting fast, cost-efficient, programmable Layer 2 solutions, gearing up for an expansive AI wave across blockchain ecosystems.
