AI Hype Comes to Crypto

AI-linked crypto tokens are surging in popularity.

(Bloomberg) — Listen to Bloomberg Crypto on the iHeartRadio App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

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 capturing the public imagination, and generating buzz in the crypto world: It’s ChatGPT. Late last year, OpenAI’s new chatbot sparked a conversation about the future of artificial intelligence. And lately, it’s been grabbing attention with its ability to craft human-like responses and even ace an exam from Wharton.

Amid the hype, AI-linked crypto tokens have been rising rapidly too. In early February, tokens like SingularityNet and SingularityDAO soared over the span of a few days. But as the fervor grows, so do concerns, as some industry insiders warn investors against being too bullish.

So, what exactly are AI-linked tokens and how are they likely to shape the industry? Bloomberg’s Hannah Miller joins this episode to discuss.
