In a conversation on artificial intelligence, crypto and the new data economy with vana, an AI project invested in by YZi Labs, CZ said that AI is a foundational technology that "won't go away", and that data is the fuel in AI models, as AI has exhausted all public data, so it needs to acquire new data sources that cannot be accessed on the Web2 platform. CZ stressed that cryptocurrency is the native currency of AI, and data is fundamentally a form of property worth protecting.
