PANews reported on March 16 that according to TheDefiant, CZ said in a dialogue on the theme of "Artificial Intelligence, Encryption and the New Data Economy" with vana, an AI project invested by YZi Labs, that AI is a basic technology that "will not disappear", and data is the fuel in AI models. Because AI has exhausted all public data, it is necessary to obtain new data sources that are not accessible on the Web2 platform. CZ emphasized that cryptocurrency is the native currency of AI, and data is fundamentally a form of property worth protecting.
