Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin: Beware of AI being monopolized by tech giants; blockchain will become a key check and balance.

CoinFeed reported on April 18th, citing CoinDesk, that Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin (CEO of Consensys) stated that artificial intelligence (AI) will be a key inflection point for the next stage of the crypto industry, but if computing power and infrastructure are controlled by a few large technology companies, it could pose systemic risks. Lubin pointed out that in the future, AI agents can autonomously execute transactions, collaborate, and verify on blockchain networks, becoming the foundation of a "machine economy," while cryptography and decentralized systems will ensure transparency and accountability mechanisms, enabling machines to supervise each other. At the product level, MetaMask is evolving into a "new type of user-controlled digital bank," where AI agents can manage assets and execute transactions on behalf of users, forming a "personal financial operating system."
