Former Ethereum core developer argues Ethereum’s transparent smart contracts could address the “black box” problem of Big Tech controlling AI

A former Ethereum core developer, Eric Connor, believes that Ethereum can play a crucial role in solving the problems associated with current artificial intelligence (AI) platforms.

"Ethereum already has the ethos with openness, collaboration and trust minimization, things that ethical and accountable AI needs.”

The main issues with AI are its lack of transparency, centralized data silos, and privacy pitfalls. Ethereum's transparent smart contracts, decentralization, and built-in micropayment infrastructure make it an attractive alternative for AI developers. By leveraging Ethereum's features, AI developers can create more transparent and accountable AI models, which could lead to mainstream adoption of decentralized AI approaches.
