Key insights discussed at Zebu Live included:<\/p>\n<h2>MP suggests that the UK\u2019s current legislation stands in the way of innovation<\/h2>\n<p>A key outtake heard across several keynotes was the increasing demand for the UK government to commit to leaning into the opportunities within Web3 and create a regulatory landscape that can foster innovation at a crucial point of the digital revolution. One of Westminster\u2019s most vocal MP\u2019s on the topic of crypto and digital assets, Dr Lisa Cameron MP, noted that there is a \u201c12 month window to make the UK the hub of digital innovation\u201d, but only if jurisdictions are passed that facilitate momentum from investors, consumers and companies. Cameron concluded that the ecosystem is at a \u201cpivotal moment\u201d and explained that there is a \u201chuge opportunity in the UK\u201d to lay the foundations for an inclusive digital generation in future.<\/p>\n<p>Steven Bartlett further addressed the problem, by stating that while there is an important balancing act between protecting society but not stifling innovation, the UK does risk industry leading companies within the space taking ideas away from the UK and heading to countries like Dubai with more\u00a0favourable regulation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Steven Bartlett (Right) speaking at Zebu Live 2023\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/storage\/uploads\/view\/f263575e05e075914f28736e56a867cb.png\" title=\"Steven Bartlett (Right) speaking at Zebu Live 2023\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Steven Bartlett (Right) speaking at Zebu Live 2023<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s impossible to predict the future of AI &#8211; Call for collective responsibility to foster an AI with ethical considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Both Steven Bartlett and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mogawdat.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Mo Gawdat<\/a>, AI expert and bestselling author, spoke separately on the rapid pace of change within AI technologies and were aligned on how no one is in a position to advise on its capabilities or how it may evolve in the future. Web3 is set to heavily incorporate AI into its ecosystem, to which Mo stated there was a \u201ccollective responsibility\u201d to teach AI, speaking on the importance of individuals interacting ethically with the machines. He further explained that \u201chumans make decisions based on our ethics and values\u201d which are informed by our intelligence and that we need to ensure a similar thought process is learned by the machines.<\/p>\n<h2>Coinbase double down on \u2018International First\u2019 policy with the goal to reach another billion people<\/h2>\n<p>Coinbase\u2019s VP for International Policy, Tom Duff Gordon, confirmed that international expansion was a primary goal for the company in light of the current Web3 landscape in the US.

Steven Barlett, voiced concern about the near term risks of seeing and believing what is on the internet before stating that \u201cmore people are scammed with cash than crypto\u201d and that blockchain technology is one of the only solutions to verify authentic information or news.<\/p>\n<p>Renowned macro investor and CEO of Real Vision Media, Raoul Pal, added that \u201cblockchain creates digital scarcity\u201d which in turn creates value as the collective continues to move to a digital world.
