In a recent year-end Q&A session, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared his insights on the prospects of the integration of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. He pointed out:
“I foresee that in the near future, artificial intelligence and robots will adopt cryptocurrency on a large scale for transactions and payments. This trend is not yet fully apparent, but its eventual realization is almost inevitable—because they have no other viable options. The traditional financial system is not suitable for intelligent agents: robots cannot open bank accounts, complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, take selfies, or swipe cards like humans. These processes are entirely designed with humans in mind and are not adapted to autonomous AI entities.
Therefore, I believe that deep payments will be more reflected in the interaction between robots and the physical world, which may become a key area of growth. However, based on my current observations and discussions, specific discussions in this direction within the industry are still relatively limited, and its potential and implementation paths need further exploration.”
This statement not only envisions the infrastructure role of cryptocurrency in the intelligent economy but also hints at the fundamental changes that may occur in payment and value exchange methods in a future human-machine collaborative society. As AI technology continues to be embedded in the real economy, cryptocurrencies may become the underlying protocol for the autonomous flow of value between machines, thus ushering in a new era of "machine economy."
