Binance co-founder, and now “intern” at YZi Labs, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), sat down with Anna Kazlauskas, the creator of Vana Network, to discuss the role crypto and blockchain will play in the growth of artificial intelligence (AI).

The interview discusses the importance of data in AI training, its current limitations, and how transparent and community-led efforts can enhance the AI and machine learning space.

CZ and Anna brainstorm the idea of data as an asset class, DataDAOs which contribute to data accumulation and decentralized training, and DataDAO tokens which allow the market to assign value to these efforts.

Vana Network and YZi Labs envision a future where decentralized training and data contributions can not only assist the AI and machine learning space, but significantly improve it.
