The speaker was fascinated by the future applications of developers on blockchains, looking beyond the current trends towards new technologies like blockchains, interoperability solutions, ZK, rollups, and restaking. They identified a bidirectional intersection between cryptography and AI, noting that cryptography could significantly benefit AI which is currently centralized in various aspects. This insight motivated them to delve into working on the problem space to explore the potential advancements in blockchain development and AI technologies.
This week, Anna and Tarun chat with Niraj Pant and Anish Agnihotri from Ritual. They kick off by revisiting the AIxCrypto intersection before diving into the Ritual product and its goals around developing open access AI infrastructure. They explore the opportunities that open up when you bring ML to smart contracts.
