24th Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum – Crypto Assets / Cryptocurrencies

Mr. Abdolrahimi spoke about the security challenges posed by the intersection of crypto or digital assets, artificial intelligence and quantum technologies, which have the potential to revolutionize the way we do business, interact with one another, and wage war.

He has served in the US government as a regulator, policy advisor, attorney, and chief Innovation officer, and is aware of the potential for these technologies to undermine national security and global security.

Quantum has the potential to break existing encryption methods, leaving our data and communication vulnerable to interception and misuse, and the growing adoption of digital assets must address the potential security implications from these new forms of transactions, he mentioned.

Mr. Abdolrahimi also stated that AI has the potential to transform the way we approach security challenges, from automated threat detection to autonomous decision making. Digital assets and blockchain technology can help Panama expand business opportunities by enabling faster and more efficient cross-border transactions and providing new financing options and that AI can also provide deeper insights into consumer preferences and operations.
