Immutable cryptographic verification layers — specifically Bitcoin — must be integrated into AI architectures as decentralized ground-truth anchor: establishing undeniable digital provenance in an ecosystem inevitably flooded with AI-generated data, deepfakes, and manipulated algorithmic instructions. | First major enterprise announcing Bitcoin-anchored AI audit trail

Key catalyst: First major enterprise announcing Bitcoin-anchored AI audit trail

Watch events: Bitcoin-anchored provenance adoption; C2PA integration battle

Bitcoin timestamping (OpenTimestamps, Chainpoint) integrating into provenance stacks; C2PA Content Credentials separate path.
