✏️ Vitalik's 4 Futures for Ethereum and AI "Instead of blindly accelerating AI development, we need to design it to protect human freedom, and Ethereum can fulfill that role." 1. Vitalik's Desired AI Future - AI that doesn't exclude or dominate humans - A structure that doesn't endanger the world due to technological advancements 2. Four Key Points (Click ↓ to see) 1) How to Use AI "Safely and Privately" - Running AI on My PC (Local LLM) - Calling AI without Exposing My Identity (ZK Payment) - Directly Verifying AI's Proper Functionality * Even When Using AI, I Control My Information and Authority 2) Ethereum = AI Economic System - AI Gets Paid to Work - AI Hires Other AI - Trust Management with On-Chain Deposits and Reputation * Prevents AI from Being Monopolized by Specific Companies 3) AI Says "Don't Trust, Verify" - No Need to Trust Wallets or DApp UIs - Local AI Proposes and Verifyes Transactions - AI Also Checks Smart Contracts * 'Cypherpunk-Level Security' Achieved by Ordinary People 4) Smarter Markets and Governance - Prediction Markets, Voting, Governance is inherently good, but - has failed due to limitations in human judgment. - AI assists judgment → practical application. * From theoretical to real. Vitalik's AI × Ethereum is a human-centered, decentralized AI infrastructure. The goal is to ensure that humans remain in control even in the AI era. Please note! Whether Ethereum can successfully implement this larger vision is a key point of interest going forward. Original tweet
