According to the American internet entrepreneur, AI and blockchain technology are approaching a season when they will ‘collide’ and thereafter reinforce each other.

There is OpenAI Sora which is capable of creating videos from textual descriptions and Google Genie which can create playable virtual worlds from a single image. Ohanian believes that companies will roll out more of such tools shortly, a move that has already started. With the prevalence of these AI tools has come the challenge of originality and ownership.
“So, imagine a world where you cannot trust a single JPG you see. You can’t know if it’s real or not, if it was taken by someone who says they took it, or if it depicts something real (we’re already kind of seeing this, too.)” the Reddit co-founder added.
He sees blockchain providing a solution to this challenge through inscriptions that could help anyone verify the true nature of an image or its origin. This will bring a boost to blockchain as it would have another use case that is not speculative.
Blockchain Firms Adopting AI To Boost Growth
Ohanian’s forward thinking projection is quite commendable and many companies are already exploring the integration of AI and blockchain across several use cases.
A week ago, Forbes highlighted that AI and blockchain will likely be supportive in Web3.0 growth. In this case, blockchain’s transparency as well as its impenetrable data processing capabilities, and AI’s capacity to learn from data and generate predictions were acknowledged.
Flare Network is also exploring a combination of AI and blockchain to offer safer and more secure services to its users and other data-sensitive sectors including healthcare, finance, and others. To bolster the number of Web3 firms exploring AI solutions Fetch AI launched a $100M Fetch Compute program to boost AI development with advanced Nvidia GPUs, to empower users and developers.
