Filecoin’s Clara Tsao: Building an Open and Trusted Internet

Did AI write the sentence that you’re reading right now? Did AI create the photograph you just saw online? Was the shocking, controversial story that tipped an election actually real, or AI-fueled misinformation?These are questions Clara Tsao has wrestled with for years, ranging from protecting national security (where she was the CTO of a team focused on countering homegrown extremism) to creating a better internet, where she’s co-founder of the Trust & Safety Professional Association. (She also somehow finds time to be the President of the White House Presidential Innovation Fellows and serve as Senior Advisor at Tech Against Terrorism.)“For me, it's always been about, how do we bring more democracy to the web, because it's an open network that everyone should have the fundamental human right to access,” says Tsao, a Founding Officer at the Filecoin Foundation, and who will appear onstage at the AI Summit at Consensus 2025.Tsao knows that AI, in a sense, is making all of these jobs harder source: https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-toronto-2025-coverage/2025/04/28/filecoins-clara-tsao-building-an-open-and-trusted-internet
