Cryptonomist conducted the interview Friedrich Gregard, CEO of the company Cardano Foundation On the occasion of Blockchain Week in Paris to talk about it Amnesty International, and the future of encryption organization.
Cardano FoundationSwiss -based non -profit organization, which is located to ensure the progress of the Cardano Protocol, with also contributing to the positive progress of Blockchain as a global variable technique.
Greggard previously held the position of director of the consulting consulting for financial services at PWC and the director of the institutional business at Saxo Bank Bank Switzerland, a pioneer in Fintech and Blockchain. SwitZerland.
While at Cardano, Gregaard has the advanced integration of modern Blockchain technology in a variety of fields that address problems in the real world through cooperation with Switzerland for UNHCR, Veritree, and Zurich University among other things.
1. Your keyword, decentralized intelligence: AI, Blockchain and the new economy during the Blockchain Week in Paris, suggests a future in which artificial intelligence agents work on Blockchain. How does Kardano imagine a system where the algorithms are responsible for people instead of central entities?
The concept of artificial intelligence is an increasingly attractive concept for both consumers and companies. By enabling artificial intelligence agents to communicate with each other, we open a set of new possibilities. This may simplify operations such as reservation of flights or keep tables in restaurants, eliminating the hard manual steps that are often involved in these tasks. One day in the non -distant future, users will be able to use LLMS like Chatgpt to find the best options, uniquely designed for their preferences, as determined by a safe database that carries comprehensive information about it, including their likes and what he hates.
By using Blockchain databases that focus on privacy that contains safe information about your identity, AI can tell the airline that you prefer the corridor seat with increasing your air weapons and informing the flight crew of your food requirements-all with the time it takes to complete these tasks. Agentic AI can use Blockchain to book the best seat at home for an annual anniversary dinner, notify the waiters on the special occasion, all without prejudice or revealing any of your basic data.
There is an infinite number of ways that B2B and B2C companies can improve their services with artificial intelligence agents, but only if technology is published safely, with the user’s privacy in its essence. The verification of the organizational interpretation and compliance confirms everything we do in the Cardano Foundation, ensuring that the Cardano network works as the security anchor that remains firmly within the boundaries related to the digital identity.
2. A artificial intelligence and Blockchain are often discussed in theory, but what are the most realistic use cases in the short term that you see for artificial intelligence agents in the series?
We no longer live in a world with concepts such as artificial intelligence and Blockchain theory. There are clear examples of its convergence on Cardano, such as MASUMI, which provides the infrastructure for the basic payment of artificial intelligence agents.
Developers can create artificial intelligence solutions on Masumi access to a set of tools by running a knot in addition to the agent’s artificial intelligence systems. They can get the encryption portfolios for artificial intelligence agents, allowing them to deal with Blockchain. These agents can determine prices and accept payments for their services while discovering tasks and delegating them to other agents’ systems within the network to increase efficiency. This enables developers to take job applications from others, allowing them to transfer artificial intelligence agents while taking advantage of the unique technology from Cardano, which is lasted, fast, sustainable and interrelated.
Parallel, and Cardano Foundation Veridian launched a new identity verification platform aimed at companies and individuals. Designed to keep personal information safe while allowing users to verify their identities, Veridian is a decisive solution in an era when Amnesty International It can be increased to use data violations. This identity safety platform provides users with the tools needed to verify their identities and document them online, create a cornerstone in confidence and reduce the chances of manipulating digital identities.
4. Cardano has always emphasized a research -based systematic approach. Looking at the rapid nature of innovation of artificial intelligence and Blockchain, how is Cardano to be balanced while maintaining competition?
Within the Cardano Environmental System, we have always thought that the systematic development that was reviewed by the peer creates the strongest basis. Instead of seeing our research approach as an obstacle to competitiveness, we consider it a basic advantage in an area vulnerable to accelerating applications and security weaknesses.
Our balance comes from maintaining strict criteria with strategic acceleration in the areas where we have created strong basics. This allows us to move intentionally to critical infrastructure while enabling the rapid innovation in the application layer through our developer’s environmental system. The last harsh thorn that has put the finishing touches on Kardano’s transformation into decentralized governance is an ideal example of this approach-planned sponsored by it, but has shifted in transferring control to the structures led by society.
The frequency of innovation should not lead to no compromise or expansion, especially when Blockchain and AI converge. Our systematic approach guarantees that we build systems that can reliably support the next generation of applications without instability in which competitors were afflicted faster.
5. I talked about encryption to reach a crossroads. With the influence of the European Union and the increase in organizational scrutiny in the United States, do you see the European Union take the initiative in shaping the global coding scene?
Mika certainly had the first engine feature for a period of time, as it was one of the largest judicial frameworks for regulating encryption in the world. It might not be perfect, but at least has offered a great deal of the need that is needed, which was sufficient for companies to choose to create a store in Europe or ensure their work within the necessary guidelines.
Now, we are witnessing a little change as the first engine feature bears less weight.
After a parked start, the United States is witnessing a change in equipment, as its current administration is looking for encryption in a more convenient light. Although this may have an unintended result to increase the noise around some speculative projects, it provides new opportunities for developers and builders while motivating people to participate in Blockchain.
8. Petrobras collaborates particularly interesting, as it connects Blockchain with the traditional energy giant. What role does Cardano play in the adoption of institutions, especially in industries that exceed financial?
As Blockchain institutions are embracing, Cardano can serve as a decisive element in the technology group for the will of players in what we consider to be “traditional” industries. There is a set of ways that can serve Blockchain the largest industries in the world, whether they are health care chains, life sciences, manufacturing or supply.
In 2024, the efforts of Cardano Foundation led to the translation of the CBCA program to Portuguese and their implementation with the local and cognitive exams of the Foundation.
With the help of the team in Tapdano, Petrobras and Cardano Foundation, it also developed a “proof of attendance” solution on the series.
9. What are the main developments in 2024 that can change this narration?
We have seen tremendous growth in Blockchain applications in the real world, with people who use Cardano to obtain decentralization, tracking identification data, and document registration. This approach is distinguished from the other Blockchains Layer-1 that focuses mainly on financial standards.
Our last partnership with Serpro, the largest state -owned information technology company in Brazil, is a game change. This cooperation will accelerate the Blockchain adoption throughout South America, with 8,000 options to receive Blockchain training. Serpro treats 33 billion transactions annually compared to 90 % of the Brazilian federal administration.
10. We look forward, what are your greatest priorities for Cardano in the next 12 months, and how do you fit the broader development of Blockchain and AI?
During the next 12 months, Cardano will continue to focus on decentralized governance and adoption of institutions through strong infrastructure and practical solutions. With the solid Chang fork and DEREPS, we enabled a comprehensive and transparent protocol governance led by society. At the same time, products such as Veridian meet needs in the real world, as they provide a safe and decentralized identity management in response to high data violations. Our strategic partnerships, from Serpro to Masumi, confirm our commitment to submitting Blockchain’s accreditation via industries, proving that Cardano is a platform for innovation and an institution for the future.
When talking about MASUMI and looking at Blockchain and AI rapprochement, we see Blockchain layer confidence that can enhance artificial intelligence accountability. Blockchain can provide non -change transparent records of training data and typical decisions, and deal with increasing concerns about artificial intelligence accountability. It can also create market markets that train artificial intelligence systems, and properly compensate individuals for their contributions. We will continue to develop initiatives that show Blockchain’s ability to face global challenges while ensuring that technology remains affordable and beneficial to all.
