Stanford's Blockchain AI Summit highlighted how the crypto industry has barely scratched the surface of opportunities in navigating the impact of the AI age.

The summit itself was a single-day TED Talk-style event on Stanford University’s campus. Unique chats from some incredibly interesting builders from diverse disciplines meant there was a lot of cool stuff being shared—from an overview of AI's potential by someone from a16z, to an appreciation for zk-snarks from a Stanford professor, to how to combat adversarial AI from a big brain at Google DeepMind.

Whether it’s securing AI computations, preventing adversarial attacks, or proving content authenticity, blockchain is poised to become the trust layer for AI.
