The Spectrum of Trust in an AI-Native Internet

Generative AI redefines trust, Blockchain records reality

– Paul Hsu, Founder and CEO, and Justin Patel, Venture Investor at Decasonic

AI is redefining truth. Truth is no longer black and white. Generative models now produce text, images, audio, and video that often feel indistinguishable from what we once believed to be “real.” At the same time, blockchains have matured into credible infrastructure for recording provenance, coordinating rights, validating identities, and settling value between counterparties. Together, these technologies are forcing a reset in how we think about trust on the internet, how licensing and ownership will evolve, and where, as investors, durable value will be created.

We all feel this shift in technology. It’s the split-second hesitation before believing whether a viral video is actually real. It’s the "CEO" of a company calling a finance director with a request for a wire, with a voice that is indistinguishable from their real voice.. We are moving from the "seeing is believing" era to one where "verifying is surviving." This is becoming the default state of the consumer internet. When your eyes and ears can be deceived by a single sentence prompt, trust ceases to be a feeling and becomes a necessary utility, one that we must ingrain into the web itself.
