In the era of personalized artificial intelligence (AI), there is an opinion that blockchain technology can solve the issue of data ownership.

On the 28th, Professor Seokbin Yoon, a special professor at Sogang University's AI·SW Graduate School, who attended the 'AI·Blockchain New Technology Convergence Seminar' hosted by National Assembly members Na Kyung-won and Choi Bo-yoon, emphasized, "Despite misunderstandings about blockchain, it is an indispensable technology that adds reliability to ownership certification in the AI era and the Web3 era." Professor Yoon further added, "The convergence of AI and blockchain stands out in the transparency of data used in AI," and "For example, when demanding compensation for data used in AI, the tracking ability of blockchain is essential."

In particular, Professor Yoon predicted that AI will eventually move towards personalization, and in this regard, the role of blockchain will become more important. He said, "Nowadays, centralized AI like ChatGPT is widely used, but eventually, people will move towards decentralization," and "When that happens, blockchain technology will be used in ▲data marketplaces, ▲governance issues, etc."
