AI Video Is Here! (Here’s What That Means for Blockchain Tech)

“Ok, that’s cool — but what does this have to do with crypto?”

You know what blockchains are really good at?

Verifying data.

Ok, ok, it doesn’t sound very exciting when we put it like that – but think about the importance of data verification, when AI can fabricate just about anything:

• A clip of the president declaring war.

• A recording used as evidence in court.

• A video of a CNN anchor announcing a stock market crash.

We don’t know which chain is going to be the one to do it, or how it’s even going to work at scale — but after seeing such convincingly ‘normal-looking’ AI-generated footage, one thing is for sure:

At some point in the near future, we’re going to need a universally accepted/accessible method of verifying the media we consume.

(And blockchain is the ideal candidate for the job).
