2026coindesk Dr. Fan's keynote will integrate Web3, artificial intelligence, and blockchain into practical applications.

Dr. Fan Chengdiao holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Stanford University, dedicated to harnessing social computing to unlock human potential worldwide.
Her research on human society, behavior, and human-computer interaction has shaped projects covering productivity software, large-scale social networking, and online interpersonal relationships.
As one of the founders of Pi Network, Dr. Fan applies this interdisciplinary expertise to blockchain and decentralization, creating opportunities for seamless collaboration and public utility development.
Pi Network enables millions of individuals globally to participate in a shared ecosystem, empowering citizens to exercise agency and generate real utility and productivity for society.
As artificial intelligence significantly lowers the barriers to product development, competition increasingly shifts toward user acquisition, authentic data, and trustworthy human participation.
This speech explores how Pi combines blockchain infrastructure, identity verification, and a global participation network to support utility-driven products and business models in the AI era.
It offers a solution for cryptocurrencies—not as an exit tool, but as a means for sustainable growth and real-world adoption. $PI
