He expressed surprise at the level of regulatory scrutiny on the cryptocurrency industry instead of artificial intelligence (AI), which he believes poses a greater threat to society. Novogratz remained optimistic about the future of cryptocurrency and its potential to transform the financial world.

Novogratz raised concerns about the potential dangers of deep fakes, with advances in AI making it easier to create convincing fake videos and audio recordings, posing serious implications for individuals, businesses, and society.
