Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said on the Deeptech Insights podcast that cryptocurrency could "eat" artificial intelligence over the next five to 10 years. He argued that the current boom in data center construction is not sustainable and said blockchain could address several unresolved AI issues, including payments, alignment, and data provenance. Hoskinson also outlined a model in which distributed networks would use everyday consumer devices to help train AI systems rather than relying only on centralized infrastructure. On U.S. regulation, he said the CLARITY Act may not clear Congress until 2029. He also criticized what he described as mistakes by the Trump administration, including tying the public image of crypto too closely to Trump-branded tokens. His comments came one day after the Senate failed to move the bill forward on Sept. 15 because it did not reach the required 60 votes. The remarks were cited by BeInCrypto and summarized by Techub.
