Co-founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, recently shared an updated perspective on the increasingly clear convergence between artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, in which he publicly opposes the approach of 'accelerating AGI at all costs' – that is, promoting the rapid development of general artificial intelligence without the necessary safety barriers. According to Vitalik, the right path does not lie in racing for computational power, but in building a positive AI ecosystem that centers on human freedom, privacy, and safety, while leveraging the core principles of cryptocurrency and Ethereum.
In the context of AI being increasingly controlled by large tech corporations, Vitalik believes that blockchain could play a crucial counterbalance role. He emphasizes the need to develop AI interaction tools in the direction of 'minimizing trust', where users do not have to place full control into a single intermediary. The directions he mentions include using large language models running locally on personal devices, API payment mechanisms for AI protected by zero-knowledge proofs, as well as verifiable proofs on the user side to ensure that the results generated by AI are not manipulated behind the scenes.
