Insights from Consensus HK 🇭🇰

Our team had the opportunity to attend the "AI-Powered Web3: The Path to Adoption" panel at the Hack Seasons Conference in Hong Kong, and the takeaways were definitely eye-opening.

Key insights from the discussion:
✅ From automating research to optimizing development, AI is enhancing efficiency across industries.
✅Some teams no longer use Google, instead relying entirely on AI tools for research, operations, and decision-making.
✅ AI + Blockchain = The inevitable future
The decentralized nature of blockchain aligns perfectly with AI-driven automation, creating trustless, efficient ecosystems.
✅ Sovereign AI Agents? 🤯
The concept of self-hosted, autonomous AI agents that choose where to execute their tasks and pay for their own resources is on the horizon.
✅ The biggest challenge? Training AI on unbiased, decentralized data.

Many panelists emphasized the need for open-access AI models built on trusted, verifiable blockchain data.
