Hirak Chhatbar, cofounder and CTO of Loti AI, spoke at Inc42's AI Summit 2026.
He participated in the panel 'Algorithms, Attention & Distribution In The AI Era'.
Chhatbar argued the AI safety debate must extend beyond model training.
He said the focus should be on how content is surfaced, recommended and distributed.
He warned that synthetic content flooding the internet causes 'model collapse'.
Model collapse happens when AI-generated data feeds back into AI systems and influences future outputs.
Chhatbar said industry focus should shift to preventing harmful content from reaching discovery systems.

The panel was moderated by Karthik Prabhakar of PeerCapital.
Panellists agreed that scale alone is insufficient for earning user trust.
Safeguarding identity, ownership and authenticity will determine which platforms earn user trust.
Siddhant Goswami of 100xEngineers noted AI has superhuman capabilities in math and coding but human judgement remains critical.

Loti AI uses facial and voice recognition to help public figures detect infringing content online.
It scans the internet daily to identify infringing or violating content.
The company then works to take down that content.
It serves public figures who need to protect their identity and content online.
