Li Guoquan: Prediction markets are the key infrastructure for AI governance, and Web3 will provide a trustworthy foundation for AI.

ME News message. On April 19 (UTC+8), at the “Connected World, Boundless Future” frontier technology forum jointly hosted by the Frontier Technology Research Institute and ME Group, Li Guoquan, Founding Chairman of the Global Fintech Academy and a visiting professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS), pointed out that prediction markets are moving from the gray area toward compliant investment tools, and their core value lies in bringing together global private information with real money and converting it into publicly transparent price signals.

He emphasized that in the AI era, the boardroom faces a great responsibility—once decision-making and execution authority are handed to AI, risks will accelerate in gathering, and regulators need mechanisms that are explainable and traceable, and prediction markets are the key to this. Without Web3 data security and privacy protection, AI will face extremely high regulatory costs.

Li Guoquan believes that in the future, more and more investment decisions will be carried out by AI agents, while humans retreat to the oversight and strategy levels. He called for building a verifiable and trustworthy AI application environment within a regulatory framework, and pointed out that the core function of Web3 is data security and privacy protection; without these two, any asset is worthless, and no AI can be sustained.
