The Ethereum Foundation has announced the formation of a new team dedicated to the development of artificial intelligence technologies within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Formation of the dAI Team
The Ethereum Foundation is establishing a full-time team focused exclusively on artificial intelligence, named the dAI Team. This initiative highlights the importance of the AI sector for the foundation's future. 'We want to bridge the gap between blockchain organizations and AI organizations,' stated Davide Crapis, an Ethereum core developer who will lead the group.
Developing Standards for AI Agents
The dAI Team will start small, with three full-time positions, and is already hiring for these roles. The team's first project will be working on the ERC-8004 standard, which will allow AI agents to find each other, verify identities, and execute transactions. The proposal is expected to be presented at the Ethereum developer conference scheduled for Buenos Aires in November.
Supporting Open and Fair AI Systems
The dAI Team will also support standards like ERC-8004 and continue to fund public projects at the intersection of AI and blockchain. 'Ethereum makes AI more trustworthy, and AI makes Ethereum more useful,' added Crapis. The foundation is already collaborating with large Silicon Valley companies on research projects, although details are not yet publicly available.
The establishment of the dAI Team and the development of new standards indicate the Ethereum Foundation's commitment to integrating artificial intelligence technologies into its ecosystem. This could open up new possibilities for blockchain applications in the AI field.
