Clara Tsao Discusses Building Trust in an Open Internet with Filecoin
Clara Tsao addresses the complexities introduced by AI in ensuring a trusted internet. Key points include:
- AI complicates verification of content origin, making it difficult to distinguish between human-generated and AI-generated information.
- Tsao highlights past incidents, such as Facebook's removal of Russian media channels involved in election propaganda, emphasizing the need for reliable sources.
- AI facilitates the creation of misleading content, posing risks for misinformation.
- Blockchain technology, particularly decentralized storage, aids in tracking data changes over time, preserving information integrity against manipulation.
- Filecoin collaborates with nonprofits like MuckRock to archive critical data securely and ensure its resilience and tamper-proofing.
- The use of decentralized technologies can verify photo authenticity and support journalists amid disinformation during elections.
- Filecoin aims to lower data storage costs, improve data accuracy for AI training, and provide alternatives to monopolistic data storage systems.
Tsao will discuss these topics further at the AI Summit at Consensus 2025.
