Ethereum Foundation: Ethereum's AI strategic goal is to become the coordination and verification layer of the AI world

PANews March 5th news, according to CoinDesk, Davide Crapis, Head of AI at Ethereum Foundation, stated that Ethereum's goal is not to integrate with AI at the computational layer, but to become the coordination and verification layer for the AI world. He pointed out that as more and more digital activities are handled by AI systems, if these systems are controlled by centralized entities, the values advocated by the crypto movement—decentralization, self-sovereignty, censorship resistance, 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. Through standards such as ERC-8004, agents can discover each other via public registries, evaluate reputations, and route payments; second, introducing core principles such as privacy, openness, and censorship resistance 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" for AI, it can help govern its operating environment.
