• Microstrategy exec Michael Saylor tror att krypto och Bitcoin är lösningar på cybersäkerhetshot som drivs av AI.
• He said that there are billions of fake accounts on social media platforms responsible for waging a “digital war” in society.
• Artificiell intelligens och andra nästa generations teknologier kommer att göra deepfake billigare och svårare att upptäcka, tror Saylor.
• Lösningen för deepfake och andra digitala förtroendeproblem ligger i decentraliserade identiteter (DIDs), sa Bitcoin-supportern.

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.

I en intervju med Kitco News, den ivrige Bitcoin-supportern uppgav 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.

MicroStrategy-chefen noterade att artificiell intelligens och andra nästa generations teknologier kommer att göra deepfaking billigare och svårare att upptäcka. Bitcoin-entusiasten noterade att han tar emot över 2 000 falska följare på sociala medieplattformen Twitter varje dag och har för närvarande 3 miljoner följare. 

“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 och hans företag, MicroStrategy, är laserfokuserade på Bitcoin-nätverket, och som ett resultat sålde företaget några av sina A-aktier för en sammanlagd försäljningsintäkter på cirka $500 miljoner. att köpa BTC i september förra året. 

Furthermore, as reported earlier by Bitnation, the company posted a total profit of $94 million in Q1 2023 with $121.9 million in revenue, a 2.2% increase from Q1 2022. Phong Lee, the CEO of MicroStrategy, stated that his company’s “conviction” in Bitcoin is as “strong” as ever, adding that his company “continued to strategically manage our balance sheet through the addition of 7,500 bitcoins in the quarter for a total of 140,000.”

“As of March 31, 2023, the original cost basis and market value of MicroStrategy’s bitcoin were $4.172 billion and $3.986 billion, respectively, which reflects an average cost per bitcoin of approximately $29,803 and a market price per bitcoin of $28,468.44, respectively,” noted the company.
