Gate has a dedicated AI strategy lead, and he is scheduled to speak at SuperAI in Singapore. Edwin Cheung, the exchange's Strategic AI Head, will appear in a session titled "Where AI Meets Web3: One Gate to All AI."
The session listing on SuperAI's website confirms Cheung's participation. The conference, which runs in 2026, has been building a speaker roster around Singapore's bid to become a global AI hub. A press release announcing the first speakers highlighted the city-state's pitch as neutral ground for international AI collaboration.
The session title signals a focus on connecting centralized AI compute and model infrastructure with decentralized Web3 protocols. AI infrastructure here means the compute layers, data pipelines, and deployment frameworks that power machine learning workloads. For blockchain-native audiences, the question is whether those workloads can be distributed, verified, or monetized through on-chain mechanisms. Gate has signaled interest through its Gate for AI Agent initiative, which targets AI agent integration with its platform.
The convergence of AI and crypto has drawn scrutiny from researchers. A recent IC3 survey from a 13-university consortium challenged several assumptions about how effectively the two domains can merge. That context gives weight to executive-level discussions at events like SuperAI.
Cheung's title – Strategic AI Head – indicates Gate has created a dedicated leadership role for artificial intelligence strategy. That fits a broader trend among major crypto exchanges expanding beyond trading into infrastructure and tooling layers. Speaking slots at prominent AI conferences serve as public signals of strategic direction. For Gate, placing an AI executive on the SuperAI stage aligns with its push into AI agent tooling and positions the exchange within conversations that extend beyond traditional crypto trading.
The move comes as exchanges increasingly compete on technology narratives. OKX recently launched OKUSD as yield-bearing collateral for VIP users, illustrating how platforms differentiate through product innovation beyond spot trading.
