According to U.Today, Ledger's Chief Experience Officer, Ian Rogers, recently shared his views on blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) during an interview with Bloomberg. He suggested that these two technologies are two sides of the same coin, with AI representing digital abundance and blockchain embodying digital scarcity. Rogers believes that we are already living in a world where AI-generated web pages are commonplace.
Rogers also predicted that blockchain technology will play a crucial role in verifying the authenticity of various online content. He emphasized the importance of being able to confirm that it is indeed the original person speaking or writing, and not a deepfake or altered version. He suggested that using a Ledger wallet to log into social media accounts could serve as proof of a user's identity, indicating the potential for blockchain and AI to work together in the future.
Ledger, a leading cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider, recently began shipping its high-end Ledger Stax crypto wallets, first announced in December 2022. The new wallet features a secure touch screen, enhancing the user experience of the self-custody wallet. The device was developed in collaboration with Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer.
The idea of merging AI and blockchain has been proposed by several business leaders. Blockchain-based verification is seen as a promising application. Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, recently suggested that blockchain could be used to determine whether a photo has been generated by AI, given the rapid advancement of this technology.
