Bitcoin es la solución a las amenazas de ciberseguridad: Michael Saylor
- El ejecutivo de Microstrategy, Michael Saylor, cree que las criptomonedas y Bitcoin son soluciones para las amenazas de ciberseguridad impulsadas por la IA.
- He said that there are billions of fake accounts on social media platforms responsible for waging a “digital war” in society.
- La inteligencia artificial y otras tecnologías de próxima generación harán que el deepfake sea más barato y más difícil de detectar, cree Saylor.
- La solución para deepfake y otros problemas de confianza digital radica en las identidades descentralizadas (DID), dijo el partidario de Bitcoin.
Michael Saylor, the former CEO and Executive Chairman of business software analytics company MicroStrategy, has been a supporter of the world’s biggest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), for a very long time, and his company holds the record for the most BTC held by a corporate entity. Interestingly, as per Saylor, the leading cryptocurrency is the solution to cybersecurity threats that are driven by artificial intelligence, or AI, such as deepfake, synthetic media that have been digitally manipulated to replace one person’s likeness convincingly with that of another.
En una entrevista con Kitco News, el ávido partidario de Bitcoin fijado that there are currently billions of fake accounts on social media platforms that are responsible for waging a “digital war” in today’s society, trying to stir hatred among the real users of these platforms. These accounts have been created by robots using automation, a technology that forms the basis of AI.
“The risk in cyberspace is I can spin up a billion fake people, and I can create a civil war by having the fake Republicans hate on the fake Democrats, or the real Democrats. Having the fake Democrats hate on the real Republicans,” Saylor stated.
El ejecutivo de MicroStrategy señaló que la inteligencia artificial y otras tecnologías de próxima generación harán que el deepfaking sea más barato y más difícil de detectar. El entusiasta de Bitcoin señaló que recibe más de 2000 seguidores falsos en la plataforma de redes sociales Twitter todos los días y actualmente tiene 3 millones de seguidores.
“I literally saw in a matter of one hour, 1500 bot accounts got scrubbed off my account, and they were bots. So, we can no longer live with that status quo,” said Saylor while adding that the solution for deepfake and other digital trust issues lies in decentralized identities (DIDs).
A DID is basically a way to identify humans in the digital world to prevent robotic accounts from wreaking havoc. These are self-owned, independent identities that enable trusted data exchange. “If someone wants to launch a billion Twitter bots, that’s going to cost them a billion transactions […]. By combining the power of cryptography with the power of a decentralized crypto network like Bitcoin, we can bring cost and consequence into cyberspace,” he explained.
Saylor y su empresa, MicroStrategy, se centran con precisión en la red de Bitcoin y, como resultado, la empresa vendió algunas de sus acciones de Clase A por unas ganancias de ventas totales de aproximadamente $500 millones. para comprar BTC en septiembre del año pasado.
