The Ethereum Foundation has bolstered its efforts to expand the capabilities of blockchain and has announced a new team focusing on decentralized artificial intelligence.
The initiative aims to make Ethereum a reliable foundation for financial settlements and intelligent systems, making digital interactions safer.
AI Focus
In a September 15th post on X, Dai team lead Davide Crapis said the group’s mission is to ensure that autonomous agents become the payments tier where autonomous agents can trade, coordinate and build reputations without oversight of a centralized platform.
He wrote:
“Ethereum + AI is about human beings maintaining institutions and allowing AI to reach its potential. Neutral, verifiable, censor-resistant infrastructure means AI works for people.”
With this in mind, the initiative revolves around two priorities at Ethereum: building an AI economy and moving forward with a decentralized AI stack.
The priorities focus on allowing robots and AI agents to pay and follow governance rules directly on the network. The second is to ensure that artificial intelligence systems are developed with open, verifiable, censor-resistant infrastructure rather than their own silos.
Crapis emphasized that the relationship between Ethereum and AI is symbiotic as blockchain networks can make AI more reliable.
He emphasized that when intelligent agents are numbered and refined, a neutral blockchain layer would be needed to lock in value and reputation. Second, Ethereum benefits from being in its basic layer, but AI systems are free from the management of centralized technology companies.
In particular, the Ethereum Foundation has already expanded this vision through the work of ERC-8004, a proposed standard that will enable AI agents to prove credibility and safely carry out transactions.
The DAI team will work with ecosystem projects and academic researchers at the intersection of blockchain and AI to achieve its goals.
According to him:
“We work side by side with both the EF protocol and ecosystem teams. We link protocol improvements and AI builders’ needs to fund innovative public goods that make Ethereum the best home for AI.”
