The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is strategizing to position Ethereum as a coordination and verification layer in the AI-driven future. Rather than integrating AI and blockchain at the computational level, the EF aims to ensure decentralization, privacy, and self-sovereignty in AI systems. Davide Crapis, EF's AI lead, emphasizes the importance of these values as AI increasingly handles digital activities. The EF's strategy involves two main areas: decentralized AI coordination and embedding Ethereum's core principles into AI. Ethereum can serve as a public verification layer for AI agents, facilitating identity, trust, and payments. The EF is developing standards like ERC-8004 to support this ecosystem. Additionally, the foundation seeks to enhance privacy and security in AI interactions, advocating for local data processing and cryptographic keys to maintain user control and security.
