⚡ AI expands its capabilities Vitalik Buterin says artificial intelligence is surpassing human abilities across more areas and faster than many people realize. The Ethereum co-founder argued that AI progress should not be measured through a single metric such as general intelligence or economic productivity. For Buterin, the more relevant question is how many different tasks these systems can perform effectively, including programming, research, communication, data analysis and problem-solving. This acceleration may also create a larger role for blockchain, particularly in providing transparency, digital ownership and greater user control over data in AI-powered systems.
