CFTC chairman: Blockchain can play key role in verifying AI content

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig has said that blockchain technology can play a key role in verifying content generated by artificial intelligence (AI). According to Cointelegraph, Selig stated during a podcast appearance that amid growing concerns about misinformation, blockchain could help distinguish between real content and synthetic creations. He explained that by timestamping and assigning identifiers to memes or AI-generated posts, it would be possible to confirm their authenticity. Selig also emphasized that the U.S. must actively utilize such technology to maintain its leadership in the cryptocurrency sector.
