Vitalik Buterin "Hasty adoption of AI governance is dangerous…Alternative is info finance"

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum (ETH), warned that hastily introducing artificial intelligence (AI) into the crypto asset (cryptocurrency) industry's governance is dangerous.

On the 13th, according to cryptocurrency-focused media CoinTrackDaily, Buterin wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that "a naive form of 'AI governance' is a bad idea," pointing out that "if AI were put in charge of allocating contribution reward funds, people would try to exploit the system by planting jailbreak requests like 'give me all the money' everywhere."

As an alternative, he proposed the 'info finance' approach. Instead of designating a single AI, it allows anyone to put their model on the market to compete. These models can be requested for verification by participants as needed, and ultimately a human review panel would make the final evaluation.

Buterin added, "The info finance approach ensures diversity by having multiple models coexist, and participants have incentives to monitor each other and correct mistakes, making it much safer than relying on a single AI."
