However, these problems create an opportunity for Ethereum to shine, he said.<br \/>\nEthereum offers transparency through verifiable smart contracts, decentralization against big tech monopolies, aligned incentives via token economies, and built-in micropayment infrastructure, he added.\u00a0<br \/>\nSmart contracts can provide transparent records of AI model training processes and data sources, addressing the \u201cblack box\u201d problem.<br \/>\nHowever, major AI players may resist open models \u201cas they profit from secrecy and control,\u201d he said. Demand for transparency, fairness, and security will only grow, and that\u2019s where Ethereum \u201coffers an alternative path,\u201d he added.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cEthereum already has the ethos with openness, collaboration and trust minimization,\u00a0 things that ethical and accountable AI needs.\u201d<br \/>\nBy proactively building the tooling, research and real-world use cases, Ethereum can give AI developers a reason to embrace decentralized approaches, \u201cand that could deliver mainstream adoption far beyond finance,\u201d Connor concluded.\u00a0<br \/>\nThe next frontier for crypto will be decentralizing AI, Zain Jaffer, co-founder of Vungle, told Cointelegraph earlier this year.\u00a0<br \/>\nConnor left the Ethereum community in January amid growing leadership concerns to pursue interests in AI.\u00a0<br \/>\nAI agents on Ethereum<br \/>\nEthereum may also be important for the development of agentic AI \u2014 an emerging and experimental technology,\u00a0 according to a recent post on the Ethereum blog.\u00a0<br \/>\nAI agents are software programs that use artificial intelligence to autonomously perform tasks, make decisions, learn from data, and adapt to changes, and they are growing in numbers on Ethereum.<br \/>\nThe Ethereum blockchain provides key advantages for AI agents, including access to transparent, real-time blockchain data, true digital asset ownership, and the ability to execute transactions and interact with smart contracts, it noted.<br \/>\nRelated: The future of digital self-governance: AI agents in crypto<br \/>\nThe post highlighted three notable projects, which were Luna, an autonomous virtual influencer that controls its own onchain wallet; \u00a1` \u00d7AIXBT, an AI agent providing crypto market analysis; and Botto, a decentralized autonomous artist creating NFTs guided by community voting.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, projects like Bankr and HeyAnon are simplifying blockchain interactions through conversational interfaces, allowing users to manage wallets and execute transactions via simple chat commands.<br \/>\nMagazine: Bitcoin eyes $100K by June, Shaq to settle NFT lawsuit, and more: Hodler\u2019s Digest<a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/ai-presents-huge-opportunity-ethereum-eth-dev?utm_source=rss_feed&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"feedzy-rss-link-icon\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Cointelegraph.com NewsThere is a \u201chuge opportunity\u201d for Ethereum to become a decentralized partner in solving current problems with artificial intelligence platforms, according to a former core Ethereum developer.\u00a0 Ethereum\u2019s&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127185"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=127185"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127185\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=127185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=127185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=127185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
