IC3 Research: Encryption Technology Has Limited Role in Solving AI Trust and Payment Issues

CoinFeed reported on June 9th, citing The Block, that a report by IC3 researchers from top universities such as Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University points out that claims about encryption technology solving AI's biggest challenges are often exaggerated, and that encryption has limited effectiveness in addressing AI trust and payment issues. The study indicates that providing AI agents with encrypted wallets does not make them smarter or more resistant to human manipulation; the wallets only allow AI agents to automate transactions and access on-chain infrastructure without human approval. Regarding distinguishing between AI-generated and human-generated content, while blockchain is suitable for timestamping and registering specific digital content, it cannot determine how the content was created, requiring external tools for verification. If external tools err and record errors on the chain, these errors are permanently retained. The role of blockchain is limited to providing highly complete registration records for certain types of content.
