According to
Cointelegraph developers from Lebedev Physical Institute have successfully developed a prototype of new crypto analytics system called "Transparent Blockchain".
They claim this system effectively uses artificial intelligence to reduce anonymity of transactions in blockchains like Bitcoin, Ether, Omni, Dash and Monero.
In essense, the system enables blockchain analysts "to track the movement of digital financial assets and identify crypto service providers to fight illicit activity related to digital assets".
What do you think? Should we be worried?We shouldn't worry, unless we are doing illegal activities in the blockchain, or we valued anonymity a lot, but for most of us, I think this is fine since we are just ordinary users. At least only the addresses transactions can be track and not our real identity, so nothing to worry about unless exchanges, gambling sites and other sites we are using will sell or leak our information when we sign up for the KYC.
The positive side is on the government as this tool could be useful for their aim of transparency, with this tool, they might fully regulate crypto as it will make them more effective in doing their job.
