#Write2Earn US elections grapple with the danger of being adversely impacted by AI due to the proliferation of false information and altered voice notes. STORY HIGHLIGHTSAI-generated voices in robocalls have been prohibited by the Federal Communications Commission.AI is now actively involved in the 2024 presidential race after being incorporated within government organizations and in the campaigns of candidates and elected officials.AI is being used by governments worldwide to produce texts, photos, and videos that help "manipulate" public opinion to their advantage.The influence of $AI on #socialmedia and the internet is increasing with each passing day. However, with the growth comes a significant issue of disinformation. In the wake of fake information, videos, and edited or morphed voice notes surfacing over the internet, the US elections currently stand on the verge of being negatively influenced by artificial intelligence.Federal Communications Commission prohibits the use of AI robocallsAccording to a report by AP, AI-generated voices in robocalls were prohibited by the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday. This move makes it very apparent that using technology to fool people and deceive votes will not be allowed anymore. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act is the legal basis for the unanimous verdict. The act prohibits trash calls that use artificial and prerecorded voice messages. After coming into play the new rule targets robocalls created with AI voice-cloning techniques.According to the same report, the rule gives the FCC the authority to penalize businesses that employ AI voices in their calls. According to the FCC, it also provides state attorneys general with a new tool to take action against violators and allows call recipients to initiate cases.FCC rule comes after previous tampering in electionsFCC’s current statement coincides with the advancement of the probe by New Hampshire authorities. The authorities had previously probed into AI-generated robocalls that used President Joe Biden’s voice. The incident used Joe Biden’s voice to dissuade voters from casting ballots in the state’s first-ever primary last month. According to the AP report, FCC’s chairwoman, Jessica Rosenworcel says that various players have been using AI-generated voices or messages in robocalls to “misinform voters, impersonate celebrities and extort family members”.According to #CNBC , AI is now actively involved in the 2024 presidential race. The report highlights that AI has been incorporated within government organizations and in the campaigns of candidates and elected officials. Although AI has the power to change an election, experts predict that these technological advancements will remain in the background due to the public’s mistrust of politicians and the absence of AI legislation.AI’s influence on electionsTime and again various agencies have highlighted the impact of artificial intelligence on political campaigns and elections. A recent report by MIT Technology Review highlights that AI is being used by governments worldwide to produce texts, photos, and videos that help “manipulate” public opinion to their advantage. Additionally, the human rights advocacy organization Freedom House recently published a paper in which researchers detailed the use of generative AI in 16 nations “to sow doubt, smear opponents, or influence public debate.”Additionally, political actors continue to use generative AI techniques to spread misinformation as they get more advanced. Amid the high frequency of misinformation circulating users need to be mindful of consuming digital content. Washington Post reports that artificial intelligence (AI) picture creation techniques make it more difficult, but not impossible, to distinguish fakes. One may identify AI-generated photographs by looking for five telltale signs. This includes when hands, backgrounds, and inanimate objects—which frequently don’t seem quite right—are focused on.Decoding AI’s Role in the 2024 US Elections: What You Need to Know#TrendingTopic #PIXEL

But not Grayscale – for their Bitcoin ETF Trust the company charges a massive 1.5% management fee.Sonnenshein stated that Grayscale has a massive track record of 10 years and is the largest Bitcoin fund. Since the other issuers did not manage Bitcoin ETFs before, they are trying to attract new customers by lowering their fees significantly. As for Grayscale, per Sonnenshein, their long track record proves their long-term commitment to Bitcoin.Not all of the approved ETFs will survive, CEO believesSonnenshein also stated that he believes that just two or three spot Bitcoin ETF products will be able to survive in the long run on the market, and the others will be pushed out of the market eventually.Still, over the past week, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust has seen an astounding outflow of approximately $2.2 billion as investors have been withdrawing their Bitcoin using the “window,” while the time for which they had locked their BTC in the Trust is over now.As for overall inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs over these past five days, they have surpassed $1.2 billion, according to Bloomberg data shared today.LATEST: Day Five (but its felt like months hasn't it?) is in books TOTAL ROLLING NET FLOWS at +$1.2b, down a bit after $GBTC's whopper -$582m edged out the Nine's +$447m. $GBTC bloodbath up to -$2.2b vs the Nine's +$3.3b w/ $6.6b in volume. $FBTC joins $IBIT in the Billy Club. pic.twitter.com/q6pFIrPTFV— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) January 19, 2024

#uma VC investor focused on $AI believes that artificial intelligence companies may start using cryptocurrencies in futureDisclaimer: 🗣🗣Empower Our Mission: Tips For Dedicated Service. 🗣🗣👉Users are encouraged to support the mission by offering generous tips.🗣This empowers creators to work even harder, ensuring the continued delivery of top-notch investment advice. In a recent interview during #CNBC ’s Squawk Box, Joe Lonsdale discussed the current rapid AI development and whether Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may find use cases in the future by AI-focused companies.Lonsdale is a founding partner of 8VC; he also founded Palantir Technologies, Addepar and the University of Austin in Texas. Right now, he seems to be passionate about the upcoming artificial intelligence era.Lonsdale on potential Bitcoin and AI future interactionWhen asked by host Joe Joe Kernen about Bitcoin, the current price drop after the approval of spot-based Bitcoin #ETFs , Joe Lonsdale first of all agreed with the host that “Bitcoin is real.” Kernen believes that now that anyone can buy Bitcoin via an ETF, it would be hard for the price to go up high quickly again.Bitcoin's next move. @JTLonsdale talks crypto and the impact of AI. pic.twitter.com/owl66FUbbr— Squawk Box (@SquawkCNBC) January 22, 2024In response to that, Lonsdale stated that, in the future, a new type of active Bitcoin buyers may emerge, who are not regular investors or traders. The VC #investors believes that they could be “AI agents.” If AI succeeds in certain consumer areas, according to Lonsdale, then “AI agents” may be using Bitcoin, tokenizing things, etc. He agreed with another Squawk Box cohost, Andew Sorkin, that AI may perhaps use not only Bitcoin (or track its price) but also Ethereum ($ETH ), Solana ($SOL ), or all three coins together, and “they are probably correlated at the end of the day.”Overall, Lonsdale reckons that, aside from using crypto, once AI is integrated fully into business processes, it may increase companies’ profits tremendously. However, per Lonsdale, that might not happen within just a few years – here he compared AI to electricity at the start of the 20th century."$500,000 per Bitcoin story"As for the question, if he agrees to Cathie Wood’s recent Bitcoin price predictions of $500,000 and even $1,000,000, Lonsdale said that it will probably depend on a major factor – macroeconomic factors and where they will stand within the next few years.If there is a massive deficit, and the government is “spending money responsibly,” then, Lonsdale says, “what #assets. is safe?” If there is major inflation in 2025-2026, and again we see government “misspending” and bonds sold off, then crypto can do very well, according to him.#uma

#Write2Earn Afraid of missing out on the crypto world's latest events? Read @WISE CRYPTO NEWS 's news digest to stay informed!Contents#cz to be sentenced in late April"Rich Dad Poor Dad" author Kiyosaki warns: Prepare for 70% collapse of S&P500Bitcoin (#BTC ) price to $600,000: Tuur Demeester shares uber-bullish forecastCheck out @WISE CRYPTO NEWS 's top three news stories over the past day.CZ to be sentenced in late AprilThe sentencing of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, better known as "CZ," has been postponed to April 30, #CNBC reports, citing a notice by Seattle federal court. Initially, the sentencing date was scheduled for Feb. 23; however, the court ruled to push the date to the end of April, providing no clear explanation for such a move. As a reminder, CZ pleaded guilty to not upholding an anti-money laundering mechanism within Binance. Currently, the former Binance CEO is on conditional release in the United States. According to federal sentencing guidelines, Zhao may receive a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison; however, there have been reports that prosecutors may seek a harsher sentence."Rich Dad Poor Dad" author Kiyosaki warns: Prepare for 70% collapse of S&P500In a recent X post, Robert Kiyosaki, financial educator and author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad" bestseller, made a grim prediction that made the crypto community go abuzz. This time, he warned his followers and all market participants in general that the S&P 500 index will imminently crash by a staggering 70%. Kiyosaki underscores the significance of financial preparedness in the face of what he predicts will be the "biggest crash in history," urging individuals to stay cautious and choose their financial advisors wisely. As usual, the main point of the author's message remains the necessity of diversifying investment portfolios to include hard assets such as gold, silver and Bitcoin. In Kiyosaki's opinion, these assets are essential hedges against economic volatility that provide stability and potential growth in the event that traditional markets fall.Bitcoin ($BTC ) price to $600,000: Tuur Demeester shares uber-bullish forecastTuur Demeester, legendary Bitcoiner, macro economist and investor, has recently taken to X platform to share his view on the future of the Bitcoin price. He believes that the largest crypto is facing a bullish rally that will be different from the one that occurred in 2021. According to Demeester's prediction, Bitcoin might reach levels between $200,000 and $600,000 by 2026, with this rally being fueled by trillions in cash from various bailouts and stimulus programs. He also emphasizes that retail "awakening" will be crucial to the Bitcoin (BTC) surge rather than institutional involvement. In a subsequent X post, Demeester added a warning for those retail investors interested in a potential Bitcoin rally above $500,000: "Keep in mind one of the most important lessons in bitcoin: be careful with debt and potential overexposure, because its volatility will easily give you whiplash." #TrendingTopic
