Randomness Crucial for AI, Crypto as Industry Faces Unpredictability Challenges
Randomness is a fundamental aspect of modern technology, serving as the backbone for encryption, fair gaming systems, and AI verification. As the global economy increasingly relies on cryptocurrency and AI systems gain more autonomy, particularly in financial operations, the integrity of randomness becomes crucial. Computer scientists have long sought an idealized version of randomness, embodied by the theoretical “random oracle,” a hypothetical black box providing truly unpredictable outputs for every input. However, perfect randomness is practically unattainable, leading digital systems to rely on pseudorandom functions—sophisticated algorithms designed to simulate randomness convincingly. Physical entropy sources, such as lava…
