CZ Talks Decentralized Science: Poised for Takeoff with AI Support Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared his thoughts on decentralized science (DeSci) during a Q&A session at the BNB Chain 5th Anniversary event. CZ stated that while the concept of DeSci is valid and will eventually materialize, its development faces significant challenges due to the lengthy cycles of scientific research. He personally hopes to support millions of independent researchers, including students and small labs, but noted that the field currently lacks a comprehensive system. CZ mentioned that his team has already invested in several DeSci-related projects and believes that if the industry can leverage this model to achieve key research breakthroughs (such as developing effective cancer treatments), it could quickly gain momentum. He highlighted that current AI technology can process biological science data through big data analysis, and large language models can play a role in medical data analysis, helping to reduce the cost of pharmaceutical research. Although no groundbreaking breakthroughs have emerged yet, CZ is confident that with the support of technology, the DeSci sector has the potential to rise in the future. For now, the industry remains in an active exploration phase.
