AI and blockchain are converging to create a new ecosystem of trust‑worthy, decentralized intelligence. Imagine AI models running on a permissionless network, where data provenance, model ownership, and incentive layers are enforced by smart contracts. Use cases range from autonomous agents in DeFi, to privacy‑preserving AI marketplaces, to on‑chain training that rewards contributors. The synergy unlocks transparency, security, and scalable AI without central gatekeepers.
