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 frontier technology forum “Connected World, Boundless Future,” co-hosted by the Frontier Technology Research Institute and ME Group, Li Guoquan, Founding Chairman of the Global Fintech Institute and 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—after decision-making and execution authority are handed over to AI, risks accelerate in gathering, and regulators need explainable and traceable mechanisms; prediction markets are the key to this. Without Web3’s data security and privacy protection, AI will face extremely high regulatory costs.

Li Guoquan believes that in the future, investment decisions will increasingly be executed by AI agents, while humans will step back to supervision and strategy levels. He called for building a verifiable and trustworthy AI application environment within regulatory frameworks, and noted that the core function of Web3 is data security and privacy protection; without these two, any asset is worthless, and any AI cannot be sustainable.
