Today’s Public Data Can Be Analyzed By Tomorrow’s AI 🤖
$LINK has helped blockchain applications consume increasingly diverse sources of data. $NEAR is part of an industry increasingly exploring the intersection between blockchains, applications and AI.
That intersection creates a privacy question.
Blockchain history is permanent.
AI capability isn’t.
Information that seems difficult to interpret today can remain available for much more capable systems to analyze years later.
Wallet behavior, counterparties and transaction patterns can all become useful signals.
Midnight approaches that problem through data minimization.
If an application only needs proof that a condition was satisfied, it doesn’t necessarily need the private information behind that proof.
The best way to protect some data may be never making it public in the first place.
