The Byzantine Generals Problem is a mathematical and computer science problem about how independent actors can reach consensus when some messages or messengers may be unreliable, deceptive, or corrupted.
As AI makes it easier to generate convincing falsehoods at scale, verifying what is true becomes harder regardless of the source. Any technology that could robustly solve trust, verification, and consensus under those conditions would be priceless.
