The North Carolina Blockchain + AI Initiative (NCB+AI) has been launched by former Lt. Gov. Dan Forest to unify blockchain, AI, finance, and energy sectors.

The coalition aims to influence policy as regulators develop new rules. NCB+AI will focus on supporting federal stablecoin legislation, reforming data center permitting, and addressing energy concerns related to AI technology.

Dan Spuller from the Blockchain Association will lead the board. The initiative is funded through a membership model and builds on earlier efforts from the 2019 NC Blockchain Initiative. NCB+AI aims to make North Carolina a leader in blockchain and AI through targeted advocacy and education.
