Ethereum co-founder Lubin: AI will be a key turning point for the next phase of development in the crypto industry, but we must beware of monopolies by tech giants.
ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin stated that artificial intelligence will become the key inflection point for the next stage of development in the crypto industry, but if computing power and infrastructure are controlled by a few large tech companies, it could pose systemic risks.

In addition, he believes traditional finance and DeFi are accelerating integration, driving the global economy towards greater precision and programmability, while quantum computing risks are long-term and manageable, with Ethereum developers already preparing in advance.
