The advent of artificial intelligence heralded a new era in both data processing and the utter diminishment of human critical thinking and information analysis. The ability of AI to process vast amounts of information makes it an ideal instrument for the identification of possibly beneficial grains of data that can be used to derive insights and trends. However, the forecasting abilities of AI are extremely limited, since they rely on the information that the machine is provided with. Considering that the AI is devoid of the ability to apply critical thinking and distinguish truth and facts from garbage data, the reliability of the derivation

Most importantly, Web3 is supposed to be based on blockchain technology, meaning that it will be entirely decentralized and will eliminate the need for any intermediaries, thus greatly expanding the liberties of users and ensuring the security of their personal data. Web3 will be using artificial intelligence and machine learning as a basis for many of its services, t
