Cycaltrust submitted a public comment to Japan's Cabinet Office requesting that blockchain-based supply chain authenticity standardization (ISO/TC307) be clearly positioned as a national strategic measure in the Artificial Intelligence Basic Plan draft. The company argues that as AI becomes more autonomous, a mechanism to verify authenticity of information is needed alongside traditional security.
Cycaltrust, the company that secured unanimous international standard adoption for ISO 26345 the previous day, is now pushing the Japanese government to embed that concept into national AI strategy. In a public comment on the Artificial Intelligence Basic Plan draft, the company pointed out that the current text only lists ISO/IEC JTC1 as a participant in international standard development, omitting ISO/TC307, which handles blockchain. Cycaltrust argues that as highly autonomous AI becomes capable of producing fake orders and records indistinguishable from real ones, a mechanism to guarantee and verify authenticity at the international standard level is indispensable. The company proposes adding supply chain authenticity-what it calls Chain of Provenance-as a pillar of national strategy, alongside traditional defenses.
