In AI era, real bottleneck is humans: why crypto is needed in the end
An analysis says that as AI boosts productivity across the economy, the cost of humans verifying AI-generated results could emerge as a new bottleneck. A paper by an MIT economist and others frames “verification cost” as a key variable and warns of a “hollow economy” if control weakens. The authors call for verification infrastructure such as cryptographic provenance, attracting attention from the crypto industry, though the paper does not endorse cryptocurrencies.
