Has AI written the sentence you are reading right now? Did AI make the picture you just saw online? What was a shocking, controversial story that gave an election to really real, or AI-fuel?
These are the questions that Clara Tso wrestled for years, from protecting national security (where he was the CTO of the team focusing on homegron extremism) to create a better internet, where he is co-founder Trust and Safety Professional Association(He also takes time to be a president of any kind White House President Innovation Friends And serve as Senior Advisor in Tech Against Terrorism.)
“For me, it has always been about how we bring more democracy on the web, because it is an open network that all must have the fundamental human rights to use,” a founding officer of the FileCin Foundation, and who will appear on the stage at the AI Summit. Unanimously 2025,
TSAO knows that AI, in a sense, is making all these jobs difficult. Therefore FileCoin focuses on using blockchain to ensure digital authenticity and smell fake. “AI is going to turbocharge everything that we see today, for good and bad,” Tso says. “And at the end of the day, I think everyone wants to know if they are talking to AI or someone.”
The interview is condensed and lightly edited for clarity.
How has AI complicated the mission for an open and reliable internet?
Clara Tso: So the biggest risk with AI is how we can tell if something is AI or bot-birthted, vs some that we know that the loop may have a human in the loop. And when I was working on topics like combating foreign influence operations, how do you prove that a bad actor actually came from a country that we know that maybe he is trying to interfere with us?
Can you give an example?
There was a period, I think in 2016, when Facebook actually took a group of media channels from Russia, as it was associated with the Internet Research Agency, a group that was definitely trying to carry out campaigning during the election. So this is about being able to prove the source of information, and to ensure that people are not falling victim to misinformation.
And fakes are easy and easy to make, thanks to AI …
Correct. And with AI-borne images and AI-related news, it can be easy for very bad actors to use that technique for evil.
Can you add dots how blockchain helps crack this problem?
One thing that is very good about decentralized technologies – and especially decentralized storage – can you really prove how the data is changed over time, because we store every piece of data by the hash, not from the place.
So suppose we have a data set, and we are concerned that the data is probably being manipulated. It may be that a government is coming and something is changing so that it can fit their political agenda. There are many reasons that preserving information is more important than ever, and this is something that we can do completely with Filecoin.
With whom are you working with especially?
We have worked with amazing non -profit organizations over the years, such as MuteTo ensure that we can not only store and preserve important information, but also ensure that it is tampering-proof, make sure it is flexible. For example, if it is known that journalists are aware that we can have flexible copies of the world. We can really use the same technique to prove that this journalist took a certain photo.
In some elections, there may be disintegration about whether something has actually happened, and you can use decentralized technologies to photographers. And we today have a ton of construction companies at the top of the filecoin, which at this time help to verify this image, taken from this tool at this time.
It is really powerful not only in the context of day-to-day journalism, but also to be acceptable in courts. In Ukraine, there may be pictures of war that can be taken out of reference. And we are able to preserve many major photographs that can one day be acceptable in international criminal courts for human rights conditions.
Now how are you thinking about the mission of FileCoin?
If you are talking to AI or humans, we can help verify. We can help store data on a fraction of cost. We can ensure that the data is more accurate, as most AI data-sets are made from ton tons data. And the storage of data is very expensive. So our goal is to make data cheaper for all, and is to ensure that people are also drawing from maximum data, so AI agents are not only trained with one of the most.
And in the end, we can have a place where it is not just monopoly that it is able to use ton data. People may have an option as to store it, how to store it. So they are not locked in a walled garden where they can never get out.
love it. Thank you Clara. Meet in Toronto unanimously!
