AI Hype Meets Crypto Winter

Bloomberg and iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Most crypto enthusiasts pride themselves on being tech visionaries. After all, they were among the first to back innovative blockchain technologies and even embrace Web3 and NFTs.

Now there’s a new innovation that's captured the public imagination, and it's getting a lot of buzz in the crypto world too. It’s ChatGPT.

Late last year, OpenAI's new chatbot sparked a conversation about the future of artificial intelligence. People on the internet were going CRAZY about its ability to craft human-like responses and even ace an exam from Wharton.

Ever since, AI-linked crypto tokens have been on a rapid rise. At one point in early February, tokens from decentralized AI companies like SingularityNet and SingularityDAO soared over the span of just a couple of days.

But as the fervor grows, so do concerns. And some industry insiders are warning investors against being too bullish. So, what exactly are AI tokens and how can they shape the industry? Bloomberg’s Hannah Miller joins this episode.
