The Artificial Intelligence narrative is gaining relevance among market participants. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently commented on combining AI with cryptocurrencies and asked developers to tread carefully. 

Buterin warns developers against potential pitfalls in the interaction between crypto and AI technology and divides potential overlaps into different categories. The most viable ones, according to Buterin, will receive human input and use AI detection or explanatory capabilities. AI can help DAOs make subjective decisions with the help of AI. 

Crypto expert and founder of AI-based research studio Ambush, Rodrigo Ferro, stated that people are not bullish enough on AI tokens, in his opinion, in a recent tweet on X (formerly Twitter). The expert believes Large Language Model (LLM) innovation alone has been one of the most exponential growth curves.
