Pi Network is signaling a transition for validators, with KYC validation tasks expected to decline as most users have already completed verification. AI-driven processes will increasingly replace manual checks, though not entirely. Validators may begin receiving new AI-related tasks alongside reduced KYC work, with rewards paid in Pi. These tasks could offer significantly higher earnings, potentially exceeding current mining rates, similar to past KYC rewards that reached up to 22x higher payouts.
