The content of this issue originates from the public speech delivered by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin at the OKX NOW Global Products and Ecology Conference in Singapore on October 6, 2026. He pointed out that blockchain technology is still in its infancy, and AI is posing both the biggest opportunity and potential risk in this field. As modern cryptographic technologies such as zero-knowledge proof become increasingly complete, blockchain can not only realize programmable assets, but also expand into the field of programmable data-users can complete data by proving specific facts without disclosing complete information. interaction. This feature is particularly important at a time when AI systems collect and process personal data on a large scale.
