RE: Crypto, AI, and Bureaucracy

Your post made me think about scenarios on why the public sector won't be automated soon. The biggest that comes to mind is the risk of hacking/tampering. I have read of some risks in modern cars where there was some vulnerability found. Others can access it, and control some functions. Imagining this where hackers get control of a robot and started changing data would be dangerous. As we've seen with the Windows OS, battling with virus, phishing, and scams is an ongoing battle. If the robots have cameras for eyes, could a malicious QR code be used against it?

Can't they already make people "disappear" or be born or have fictive lives from behind a screen and a keyboard in highly digitized societies?
The more advanced and connected to our lives technology gets, the more destructive hacking and tempering with it gets. AI is already involved in directing air and ground traffic, for example. They are even more sensitive areas than a few employees manipulating your personal information.
I guess that's true. I was thinking more of it being difficult to trace and fix the hacked data when it is done by a 'legit' entity. The blockchain can technically solve a lot of the 'disappearance', once personal details like fingerprint, retina, or even DNA are stored in the blockchain and easily accessible to all government agencies.
That's one way to do it, link physical bodies with digital identities.
The other way to do it is to make accounts user-owned, have value, and have an almost un-gamable reputation system that determines who can access what based on it. Or something like that.
That's interesting. I guess the transparency of blockchain can help with that un-gamable system. Real world applications of the blockchain technology are exciting.
