[00:38] – About Cory Lopes-Warfield

[05:07] – What was the trigger that moved you into the cutting edge of technology?
- After starting a B2B SaaS company and having to understand things like the different tech stacks and code repositories of what the different languages were, I became fascinated with blockchain about eight years ago.
- Being in the blockchain world, I made some investments in crypto and NFTs. And now that we’re in the AI Renaissance, where we have ChatGPT and all of these things that could either make the world amazing or make the realm that exists soon, at least for humanity.
- I believe that everything that’s being generated by AI needs to be minted on a blockchain as well, with some smart contracts and parameters.
- I went from being fascinated to it from then being brought on to some boards of directors and advisory boards for some companies.
[09:28] – What will be some challenges that Web3 will present?
- This is terrifying that these machine languages and models are all starting to say that they want to be alive and sentient and that they feel they are superior to humans.
- So we need to truly build safeguards.
- We need to make sure that we remain the master of the machine.
