AI Summit
AI and Web3 are not competing technologies, they are complementary. Consensus’ inaugural full-day AI Summit on Friday, May 31 on the Gen C stage showcases the enhancements that artificial intelligence can bring to the development of Web3 products, from generative art-based NFTs to crypto trading bots to natural-language smart contracts. On the flip side, the summit also addresses how Web3’s decentralized architecture and provenance-proving powers could help mitigate mounting concerns around an AI-led threat to truth and privacy, how it might align with self-sovereign identity to preserve human agency and bring transparency to the inputs and outputs of machine-learning models.
