NiftyNoon: Can Crypto and WorldCoin Protect the Internet from AI Bots?

The rise of AI may be an intriguing opportunity for the blockchain (July 25, 2023)

Nifty Thought

• The launch of WorldCoin from OpenAI founder Sam Altman is quite interesting. Many people have called the ethics of the token distribution in question with a huge quantity of tokens vesting to a team that has yet to deliver very much. The more interesting discussion however likely extends beyond WorldCoin itself to the problem it’s trying to solve: proof of person.

• With the rise of generative AI leading many to speculate that autonomous AI is in the horizon, the idea that many “people” on the Internet may one day be bots is quite frightening. Using the blockchain to validate personhood is quite interesting and could pose as the long term solution for this Internet identity problem. Only time will tell if WorldCoin’s specific efforts succeed; nonetheless, proof of person is definitely a space to watch in the coming years.
