Vitalik: Ethereum's goal is to enable human freedom; extending the feedback loop between humans and AI is "not a good thing."
PANews, February 20 – Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on X, stating that extending the feedback distance between humans and artificial intelligence "is not a good thing." He noted that this trend often leads to AI generating low-quality content, rather than truly solving real human problems, and even fails to deliver well-optimized entertainment experiences. Vitalik further warned that once AI reaches a sufficiently powerful and potentially dangerous stage, such a development path could maximize the risk of "irreversible anti-human outcomes," possibly causing deep regret among its promoters. The goal of Ethereum is to "grant freedom to humanity," not to create a self-operating system that leaves human conditions unimproved or even worsened.
Additionally, Vitalik Buterin pointed out that current mainstream models run on centralized institutional infrastructures such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which are not truly "self-sovereign." Ignoring this assumption of centralized trust runs counter to the principles that Ethereum opposes. The trend of exponential technological growth itself is hard to stop, so the core task of our era is not to further accelerate this exponential expansion, but to guide its direction and avoid the system sliding into uncontrollable or undesirable "attractor" states.
