“AI really has the potential to wreck Society… a lot of jobs we have now will go away.” — Ben Horowitz
“AI really has the potential to wreck Society uh and what I mean by that is if you think about what is obviously clearly going to happen in an AI world is one we’re not going to be able to tell the difference between a human and a robot two we’re not going to know what’s real or fake um three uh the level of security attacks on big Central data repositories is going to get so good that everybody’s data is going to be out there and you know there is no safe haven for a consumer um and then finally you know for these agents and these these Bots actually be useful they they actually need to be able to use money and pay for stuff and get paid for stuff like so uh and if you think about all those problems those are problems that are by far best solved by kind of blockchain Technology uh so one we absolutely need a public key infrastructure such that every citizen has their own wallet with their own data with their own information um and if you need to get credit or prove you’re a citizen or whatever you can do that with the zero knowledge proof you don’t have to hand over your social security numbers your bank account information all this kind of thing because um the AI will get it uh so so so you really need your own keys and your own data and there can’t be these gigantic you know massive honeypots of information that people can go after.” — Ben Horowitz (42:06)
