- According to Ohanian, there is an “indisputable need” for both AI and blockchain.
- According to him, blockchain technology offers a solution to the problem through inscriptions.
Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, has put forward the idea that blockchain technology and artificial intelligence (AI) could collide. The tech entrepreneur claims that artificial intelligence and blockchain are on the verge of a ‘collision’ that will lead to mutual reinforcement.
He elaborated by saying that the connection between the two advanced technologies inspired his hypothesis. According to Ohanian, there is an “indisputable need” for both AI and blockchain.
Vision for the future
Moreover, since AI began to gain ground, he has recognized the revolutionary change it has brought about. According to the Reddit co-founder, AI is currently making “images infinitely available.” The introduction of several fascinating AI technologies by leading tech companies supports his claim.
Google Genie can create a playable virtual environment from a single image, while OpenAI Sora can create movies from written descriptions. According to Ohanian, companies will soon bring more and more of these tools to market; in fact this trend has started. Creativity and ownership have become more difficult to manage with the widespread use of AI techniques.
Blockchain technology, he says, offers a solution to this problem through inscriptions that anyone could use to confirm the authenticity or provenance of an image. With the addition of another non-speculative use case, blockchain technology will experience a revival.
Numerous companies are already exploring potential use cases for combining AI and blockchain technology, and Ohanian’s vision for the future is inspiring.
Forbes said a week ago that blockchain and AI would likely help Web3.0 thrive. Here, both the openness and immutability of data processing on blockchain and the ability of AI to learn from data and make predictions were recognized.
