According to the latest episode of the Gatecast podcast, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han shared his thoughts on the future of AI, Web3, and the cryptocurrency industry in an interview themed "The Future of AI, Web3, and the Cryptocurrency Industry."Dr. Han stated that the way users will interact with cryptocurrency products will undergo profound changes due to AI in the future.

"AI + human intelligence" will become a more effective approach in the future.Dr. Han also pointed out that Gate is continuously utilizing AI to optimize product experiences, reducing users' learning costs through intelligent tools, and encouraging more users to enter the Web3 world. Currently, Gate is building an AI product system around the Intelligent Web3 strategy, which includes Gate AI, GateClaw, and Gate for AI Agent, accelerating the integration of AI technology into the trading ecosystem. In the future, Gate will further lower the barriers to using Web3 through intelligent products and services, enhance user experience, and drive more users into an open and intelligent Web3 world.
