Cointelegraph sat down with activist and cybersecurity expert Chelsea Manning to discuss how blockchain technology can combat challenges associated with artificial intelligence.
With the introduction of the artificial intelligence dialogue robot ChatGPT developed by the research center OpenAI, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a hot topic. But while ChatGPT is likely to write articles and build login password trading robots, some people worry that artificial intelligence is likely to be disadvantageous.
According to a survey conducted by Tidio, a sales website, 69 per cent of college graduates feel that artificial intelligence may replace their jobs or make it more and more innocuous in the near future. Others stressed that the rise of artificial intelligence will lead to a great test of the comparison between verifying accurate information and false news generated by artificial intelligence.
For example, theme activist, security consultant of blockchain technology personal privacy service platform Nym and former army combat intelligence information investment analyst Chelsea told Cointelegraph that as artificial intelligence adapts to society, information verification will become an essential problem. Manning told Cointelegraph about how blockchain technology can help solve the artificial intelligence test when interviewed by an exclusive agent at the South by Southwest Conference in 2023.
Why is the rise of Cointelegraph:AI worrying, and how can blockchain technology resist this concern?
Chelsea Manning:The specific classroom teaching of artificial intelligence has been completed for a long time, but as the supervision in artificial intelligence becomes more and more efficient, it will reduce virtual private networks and other power supplies to protect the integrity of customer data.
Another risk associated with artificial intelligence and deep counterfeiting is that these elements will eventually become so tenable that many of these cases will end up in court. For example, there will be such a situation in the future, that is, I must sue the court to carry out investigation and forensics verification, if something is produced through artificial intelligence.
We can use blockchain technology to create a fragmented catalog listing where the information came from, who made it, and where it was created. Then check this in the distributed system ledger to confirm that special things have happened in history, thereby reducing disputes.
For example, someone can take a picture and put the database in the account book for verification. When someone tries to question this, they can go to the ledger and check the data encryption signature for verification to see if something special has happened.
CT: do you think we will see more companies using cryptographic algorithms to face the test of artificial intelligence?
Cm:Yes, because verification is undoubtedly an essential problem that occurs when social development is exposed to commodities or the use of artificial intelligence. One way to test this is by cryptographic algorithms, which will be fundamental.
I feel that a big battle in the industry in the next decade is undoubtedly a question of verifying and understanding whether the information we have received is correct. People are facing the very real risks of exposing our entire real life on mobile phones, televisions and other online venues. Although this is the basic way to communicate with the world, the information will be more wrong, but it is contagious. I firmly believe that there are solutions to all kinds of problems, as long as there is some foresight and planning, this global apocalyptic scenario is able to hold live.
CT: in terms of privacy and security, you also have strong views on the choice of infrastructure. Can you explain what it means?
Cm:One of the most disturbing aspects of developing and designing hardware technology is to ensure that the hardware configuration itself is very secure. This is the main reason why hardware configuration developers must pay close attention to the supply chain crisis-who is the development and design, who is the manufacturing technology, and so on.
I firmly believe in the additional benefits of open source system architecture, so these are based on generality and generality. I have been doing scientific research on open source system architecture design for NYM design and development of security hardware technology. For example, RISC-V is designed through an open source system architecture developed by the University of California, Berkeley. RISC-V is a requirement that does not require any IP and is dedicated to improving over time. Users can build IP based on RISC-V, but the architecture itself is free for everyone.
CT: how do you feel about digital currency?
Cm:I was interested in bitcoin when the white paper was published, but I didn't necessarily see it as property or the use value behind blockchain technology. I am surprised and surprised that it is so convenient for people to regard work unit certification as an item that they will trade and speculate.
This is not necessarily my interest, because I generally do not play with speculative property. But in a purely academic sense, I think this technology is fascinating. In my opinion, digital currency is still a blockchain technology that may complete this proof of concept in the future, but it is not necessarily perfect, nor is it necessarily ready to change fate.
CT: recently, we can see that Silicon Valley banks have been overtaken by regulators. What kind of harm do you think it will cause to all high-tech industries?
Cm:This is an earthquake event, and it returns to my suspicion about speculative property as a whole. This shows that whether it is traditional finance or representative property, we are still on a social and economic whim.
The Fed's meeting system and regulators are all interconnected, so with rising inflation and Fed meetings trying to reduce currency liquidity, I was not surprised to see the work pressure on some speculative and riskier projects. You are now seeing the impact of this.
But in every such cycle, there is independent innovation. If there is any difference, it is to operate in an environment where you can use less cash, forcing us to do more independent innovation in order to survive. I think it will be an interesting moment for the high-tech industry. This will definitely affect the new company, but I think the current new company that can get through this will become the most anticipated enterprise in 10 years.
