Vitalik Buterin, one of the co-founders of Ethereum, recently addressed a number of urgent technical threats in a post that he made on social media.
According to Buterin, the battle against centralization should not be restricted to financial systems. The lack of transparency in algorithms, centralized identity management, vulnerabilities and backdoors in operating systems, and surveillance driven by artificial intelligence were some of the primary problems that he discovered based on his research.
Furthermore, Buterin expressed concern on the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that are capable of deciphering thoughts via the use of enhanced imaging and artificial intelligence.
However, despite the fact that these technologies are still in the process of further development and are not yet ready for commercial use, Buterin is concerned about the possible effect they may have on privacy.
Despite the fact that Buterin is in favor of the development of BCIs, he cautions that proprietary systems that have weaknesses that are not readily apparent might put mental privacy at risk. As a means of avoiding problems of this kind, he advocates for the open-sourcing of BCIs.
Additionally, he emphasized the need of finding solutions to these issues, even in the event that decentralized finance completely materializes. Buterin emphasized the significance of connecting decentralized finance with other technologies, citing privacy-enhancing techniques for payments as an example of how these technologies might collaborate to solve larger concerns. He also mentioned that this integration is essential.
