Coinbase is integrating AI into its operations, starting with basic tools like coding assistance and expanding to machine learning for risk and fraud prevention, and customer support. The company is also exploring more advanced applications, such as creating an internal 'company brain' for recursive self-improvement.
“Yeah, so like a lot of companies, we started off with the basics, you know, we got some coding tools, uh, we got hooked up into our various data repositories. We've been using it for a long time on machine learning for risk prevention, fraud prevention, um, customer support.”
“Um, one of them is that, you know, we basically want to get to as close as we can and actually achieve recursive self-improvement, right? And what does that mean in various ways? Like, so it means that you have a brain, um, for the company, uh, that can be whole bunch of subsets, by the way, you can have a brain for each team, you can have a brain for each service, uh, repository within the company, you can have a brain for each individual, which by the way, I believe they should be able to take with them when they leave Coinbase.”
