2 New Key Features Released for Pi Network Pioneers on Pi2Day

The core team of Pi Network has just announced two new features for all users, including the integration of artificial intelligence into the ecosystem and another platform-level utility service for staking. PI and AI Citing the fundamental principles of the blockchain industry, including the aim to address all fundamental human issues, the Core Team's announcement outlined the integration of AI as the industry stands at a "critical" juncture in its development. They further stated that the world still faces several unresolved issues, specifically as follows: The initial phase of the AI application layer between AI infrastructure and real-world production. There is a lack of clarity regarding the roles of labor and human intelligence; and persistent questions about human welfare in a world overwhelmed by AI, where AI can generate unprecedented levels of production and how to distribute the benefits gained to humans in a way that maintains or improves accepted levels of equality and fairness. However, with the implementation of AI into blockchain, the research team believes they have found a solution, as these two technologies can be "a scalable and accessible solution for distribution and redistribution in society". However, to become a viable solution, the combination of both needs to address several factors, including establishing authenticity, creating a "powerful and efficient AI application layer", a large and reputable social network, as well as being able to leverage the intrinsic features of the blockchain. The research team believes they have answers to all these questions as the project has developed a native KYC network, with over 13 million migrating users and a global network of over 60 million participants. To provide AI features for its growing user base, the core team has launched Pi App Studio, which is said to be a new model for creating applications in the AI era. The post explains that: "In addition to GenAI capabilities, the key aspects that differentiate Pi App Studio from other existing GenAI programming platforms are the guided application creation process, the ability to reach millions of potential creators and users for these created applications, providing an effective iterative process that we believe is essential for building a real product." Although the final version of Pi App Studio will have many features that allow users to create various online products as the team has described, it is still under development and currently in the testing phase with limited options. Ecosystem Directory Staking The second key point drawn from the statement of the Core Team is the emergence of the Ecosystem Directory Staking – "a new platform-level utility that introduces a decentralized method for pioneers and businesses to actively support and promote the ranking of Pi applications and utilities in the ecosystem interface." It launched today and will be accessible through the Pi Browser. As its name suggests, it will allow users to stake their PI tokens on Mainnet into the applications of their choice, which will boost their ranking and visibility. Despite these updates and new features, the aforementioned underlying asset has continued to decline sharply over the past 24 hours, losing more than 5% of its value and sliding down to $0.52.
