Yi He: AI and Crypto Will Reshape the Future — But Only Real Solutions and Community Impact Matter

At the Web3 Carnival in Hong Kong, Binance co-founder Yi He shared her vision for the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology, emphasizing that true innovation must solve real problems and deliver value to the community.Speaking during the roundtable discussion “Crossing the Chasm: How Web3 Moves from Geek Culture to Mass Resonance,” Yi He described AI as a productivity revolution that drastically reduces labor input, while blockchain transforms production relationships, enabling transparent incentive structures between platforms and users.“AI Native + Crypto Native could spark massive change,” she said. “But to truly promote social progress, a product must answer two fundamental questions: What problem are you solving? And who needs it?”Yi He pointed to Binance as an example of how incentive-aligned platforms can empower users and grow sustainably. But she also cautioned against building for hype alone.“Without addressing real user pain points or building clear value mechanisms, tech is just noise,” she added.Yi also highlighted the importance of giving back to the community once success is achieved. Entrepreneurs, she said, have a responsibility not just to create wealth, but to reinvest in the ecosystems and users that supported their growth.
