PANews reported on December 25 that former Coinbase CTO Balaji tweeted that in the future, smart cars, smart watches and smart homes will be widely used, and each object will not only be able to communicate with people, but also communicate with each other, record conversations and coordinate tasks for its owner who holds the private key. He called this trend "AI Internet of Things."

In response, Vitalik Buterin emphasized that ensuring that device ownership belongs to the private key holder is not a default result and requires human efforts to promote it.
