BlockBeats News, August 29th – At the "AI × New Finance - Innovation Global Tour · Hong Kong Stop and Yangtze River Star Program Launch Event," angel investor and Chairman of CAI Holdings, Neil Shen, stated that AI is essentially a transformation of productivity, while Web3 is closer to a transformation of production relations. He believes that if there is only efficiency improvement brought by AI without changes at the financial and production relations level, the new technological cycle will still lack a crucial element.

Neil Shen further posited that humanity is transitioning from an industrial society to an information society and entering a data society, where data will become the most valuable resource in the future. For enterprises, AI should first be used to enhance existing business and organizational efficiency, and then to create new business models based on this foundation; as Web3 develops, data will flow more easily and gradually break through platform and geographical boundaries.
