CZ on AI's Trajectory: 'Right Now We Solve Problems for AI — Soon AI Will Solve Problems for Us'
Speaking on The Wolf of All Streets Podcast, Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) said the exchange's original 2018 customer service agent "cs_bob" was not true AI but rather an SQL script, which has since evolved significantly. CZ said approximately 80% of Binance's customer support inquiries are now handled from first response to resolution by AI, with a target of reaching 99%. He expressed confidence that advances in neural language models and new training data will close the gap. CZ described AI as one of three transformative technologies of his adult lifetime — alongside the internet and blockchain — and said the trajectory will shift from humans solving problems for AI to AI solving problems for humans.
