Talk about AI in the crypto world tends to focus upon the latest Ai coin that "experts" predict will explode. It does not take much research to come across articles filled with forecasts of 10x, 50x, or 100x moves in AI crypto XYZ.

Of course, like most things with markets, it is mostly fluff.  The majority of these coins are worthless.  It is no different than DAO coins, NFTs, and Metaverse tokens, all which were predicted to take over the world.

That said, it does not mean the underlying concept is misguided.  The combination of AI and crypto is a likely match.  We can see the benefits each brings to the table, something that enhances the capabilities of each.

Blockchain is starting to be seen for more than simply the home of crypto.  People are realizing this type of network structure offers are great deal in the way of security, openness, and collaboration.

When we look at the siloed system the Internet became, perhaps this will finally unlock the potential of digital networks.

# The Combination of AI and Crypto

Separately, AI and crypto offer many benefits.

Within markets, AI can analyze market trends, predict price movements, and identify trading opportunities.  AI-powered fraud detection systems enhance security, detect suspicious transactions, and protect users from scams or hacks.

We also see numerous early use cases in fields such as healthcare where pattern detection is aiding in the screening process for numerous diseases.  AI is also assisting in drug discovery, reduce the time and cost of bringing new medications to market.

Cryptocurrency uses cryptography to secure financial transactions.  By using blockchain, it ensures transparency, security, and resistance to fraud.  The decentralization component reduces the vulnerability along with the threat typically posed by hackers.

How is the future AI and crypto?

By combining these two technologies, we can see the impact multiplies.

Financial transactions, at the center of all commerce, is enhanced by the security measures.  At the same time, efficiency along with accuracy of financial transactions improves.

The decentralized AI models is what will foster collaboration among developers.  This could cause innovation to span many industries.  

## The Blending of Data and Monetization

One of the major problems thus far with AI is that limitation of monetization.  We are seeing tens of billions poured into AI models with little return.  Obviously, those investing (and building) believe in the eventual payout.  The problem is that, even if it comes, it will only be a few select companies that benefit.

Crypto brings a new form of monetization to the table.  Via the token process, most anything can be monetized.  This is crucial as AI models and applications begin to emerge.  Naturally, the vast majority will be failures, that is the standard of technology.  That said, we are going to see some amazing breakthrough, developments that completely alter major aspects of society.

In the Age of Automation, smart contracts are going to play a key role.  These can operate without human interaction, facilitating a wide variety of tasks.  The security of blockchain helps to combat one of the fears of AI, a lack of control due to hacks.

There are synergies which will be exploiting, in a positive way.  Decentralized computer networks provide distribution where ML is verifiable on-chain.  It can also be used to establish rails for agents.  Deepfakes could be combatted with Zero-knowledge proofs.  

Efficiency is key.  

By distributing compute, we can see the ability to scale grow.  The use of multiple nodes allows for parallel processing, furthering the gains over traditional systems.

Finally, underutilized global resources can be tapped into reducing costs while also providing censorship resistance.

This is a process that is already underway.  Over the next half decade, it will likely become a standard part of the AI architecture.
