AI + Crypto: Why 2026 is the Year of Real Convergence
We've talked a lot about "AI gems" like $FET or $RNDR, but do we really understand why this union is inevitable? Today, AI needs blockchain for three critical reasons: Data Transparency: In the age of deepfakes, blockchain allows us to certify the origin of data or an image. It's the only way to know if information was generated by a trusted AI or a malicious actor.Distributed Computing: Training AI models requires power that only repurposed crypto mining farms (like the Render network) can provide at a competitive cost.Micropayments: AI agents can't open traditional bank accounts. They use crypto wallets to pay for resources and receive their rewards instantly. The sector to watch this afternoon: Protocols that facilitate deepfake detection and chain certification. This is where the next wave of millionaires will be created.
