We used to make a metaphor that data is the oil of the AI era, computing power is the engine, and models are the highway. However, this time Grok3 can quickly achieve a leading AI score in a short period of time, thanks not only to the exaggerated computing power of 200000 graphics cards, but also to the massive synthetic data. And what new sparks will CZ's appointment as a project consultant for @ vana bring to AI+Web3? This AI themed brainstorming session between Binance boss @ cz-binance and Vana had several elements that deeply attracted me! one ️⃣ As the leader of Binance, CZ is currently very focused on the AI field and paying close attention to its trends and growth, especially the organic combination of AI+Web3, which creates value for the AI industry and even society. From Space, CZ is currently very excited about the intersection of blockchain and AI, mainly due to the enormous potential of AI as a fundamental technology, especially its application prospects when combined with cryptocurrency. Firstly, blockchain can provide AI with the functionality of local currency, which means that cryptocurrency will play an important role in the AI economy. Secondly, data is the fuel for AI, and currently public data is nearing depletion, with many uncaptured private data yet to be effectively utilized, providing enormous opportunities for blockchain in terms of data sovereignty and privacy protection. two ️⃣ The reason for CZ's investment in Vana is due to its strong existing products and growing user base, as well as the potential for market fit. The core of Vana is DataDAO, a decentralized data organization that allows users to aggregate and manage their data, thereby establishing data pools. As the size of the data pool grows, the value of data will also increase, thereby promoting the value and liquidity of decentralized data. three ️⃣ In CZ's view, decentralized AI will become a major trend, and as AI models become larger and cheaper, new applications will continue to emerge. The rise of AI means that data sovereignty is particularly important, especially in the future where AI models control a large share of the economy. Whoever holds the data holds the economic power. For data providers, it is necessary to find ways to establish equity in these models to ensure that the value of the data is reflected in them. four ️⃣ Not only Binance, but also many investors are looking forward to Vana's important technological innovation in solving data sovereignty issues. Through DataDAO, Vana enables users to view data as a new asset, thereby gaining liquidity. Users can not only trade their data as the basis for DeFi primitives, but also earn passive income from it. In addition, Vana is developing programmatic data access methods that allow users to flexibly extract data from multiple DataDAOs, further enhancing the operability of decentralized data ecosystems. Summary: The arrival of Vana has broken the centralized monopoly of traditional Web2 oligopolies on user data ownership. With the explosion of the AI era, data has become extremely scarce, and private companies have begun to purchase second-hand data without users fully knowing or agreeing. In this context, the core property rights of data sovereignty are becoming increasingly important. DataDAO not only provides users with a way to control data, but also provides a new source of income for the decentralized economy. It is worth looking forward to and focusing on in the future! 🧐
