At first glance, launching web3 and have in a title may seem like a bad example of fashionable soup, the practice of media societies trying to play algorithms (and your attention) using a bunch of the most sought -after words of the time. But Coindesk followed the slow integration of applications that follow large amounts of data on a public blockchain and artificial intelligence capable of giving meaning to this data for a decade.
In the very first list of women from Coindesk in web3 & ia list, we have consulted a panel of women judges respected in their fields to create what we believe to be a powerful list that captures the Zeitgeist of the moment.
Parallel revolutions
What we are witnessing are two parallel technological revolutions – the promise of decentralization of blockchain and the jump of AI to the transformation of the way we work, create and build the world. Although these areas may seem distinct, they share something crucial: they both reshape the fundamental infrastructure of our digital future.
The moment of this convergence is not a coincidence. As AI requires an ever-increasing calculation power and access to data, and blockchain networks are looking for new use cases beyond cryptocurrency, both fields naturally intersect in fields such as data verification, distributed IT and digital identity.
Large AI companies explore blockchain -based solutions for the source of data. Cryptographic projects integrate AI for everything, from the detection of agent trading fraud. An entirely new field of web3, called decentralized artificial intelligence (DEAI), is to take advantage of the large amount of power used to audit blockchains to form AI models capable of competing with centralized solutions.
The authors of tomorrow
The gender gap in technology is well documented, especially in emerging fields such as blockchain and AI. Although the reasons are complex, problems of educational pipeline to workplace culture, the result is that women remain considerably underrepresented in both areas.
Then there is the list. These 50 remarkable women are not football notes in the history of emerging technology – they are its authors. They build protocols and platforms, leading $ 1 billion startups and shaping world governance executives. They do it while navigating the systems never conceived with them in mind, bringing empathy, creativity and rigor without compromise to the most critical questions of our time.
The AI and the blockchain are the two faces of the same piece – one built on probabilistic reasoning and the other on cryptographic certainty. The interpreter and predicts the world; The blockchain checks and preserves it. One prosperous on inference, the other on immutability. Together, they offer a plan for a future that is both adaptive and responsible, generative and just.
This list has been returned through a collaboration between Coindesk and proof of the conversation, organized by Xventures. As part of its annual summit – which was held this year in Paris at the Palais du Louvre – Proof of Talk against a range of actors through blockchain and AI ecosystems: founders, investors, decision -makers and academic helping to shape the trajectory of the two areas for years to come.
With the development of AI accelerating on a global scale and blockchain applications such as stablecoins which obtain an institutional adoption, European engagement in technical development and the training of policies has become increasingly important for the broader technological competitiveness of the region. Web3 and AI are really global, and each region contributes and competing.
Selection methodology
To ensure that the list selection process was as impartial as possible, we have sought several various perspectives.
An initial public awareness on many social media platforms and our analysts of in -depth experts led to more than 300 appointments from each geographic region. After having withdrawn the name and contact details of each appointment, the Coindesk editorial committee reduced candidates to 100 semi-finalists. A panel of five judges then examined the list of resulting semi-finalists, looking for the rare combination of innovation, relevance and influence. Each judge examined close to 20 candidates, providing crucial comments for the final selection process.
The judges were: Julia Bonafede, co-founder of the investment management company, Rosetta Analytics; Olivia Bolec, Director of Google Global Accounts; Sarah Idahosa, founder of Women in Defi; Saruul Krause-Jentsch, head of the Podcast at Spotify for Central Europe; and Amélie M., founder and president of the French branch of the association of Women in Crypto.
In the end, it was the Coindesk editorial committee, including me, which closely examined the comments that resulted in it, which makes the 50 leaders’ decision to recognize.
Rather than focusing exclusively on technical innovation, the list acknowledges that the development of emerging technologies involves several types of expertise – from the development of products and the commercial strategy to regulatory compliance and ethical executives. While the web3 and the AI go from experimental phases to a wider adoption, these various prospects are becoming increasingly important.
