As artificial intelligence continues to grow to recent heights of recognition, industry players are considering recent ways the technology could integrate with crypto and blockchains.

During Coinbase’s State of Crypto Summit on Thursday, enterprise capitalists and AI experts shared their thoughts during a panel on what similarities and differences the industries have and the way investors, builders and users can capitalize on it.

Digital ownership

One among the crypto spaces’ ethos is the thought of owning your assets, data and identity, against giving it away to sites like Facebook and Instagram. But the necessity for owning your personal data is applicable not only within the web3 space, but in AI, too, Fred Wilson, co-founder of Union Square Ventures, said.

In the longer term, users who employ AI tools are going to want to regulate their very own data and determine what models can and may’t train themselves with their information. “Users are going to wish agency over data and increasingly the way in which they need it [shared across] assets,” he said.
