Then Katie Boller Gosewisch, Executive Director of the Alliance to End Human Trafficking, joins to challenge CLARITY's Section 604, arguing that shielding DeFi developers from money-transmitter liability creates a \"duty of care\" gap that traffickers can exploit. Plus, Rebecca and Renato close by naming Meta as their Person of the Week for its reported move into points-based prediction markets. - Check out CoinDesk's latest episode of Public Keys from the NYSE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75LrBmSScvY&list=PLZWrc_gWChqnim-9ZbIKZTOrPA7IgFKVR&pp=sAgC - Register now for CoinDesk’s Policy and Regulation event on September 22, 2026: https://policy-regulation.coindesk.com/. - Timecodes: 00:00 Welcome to The Policy Protocol 00:51 This Week: AI Trading, Prediction Markets, Human Trafficking 01:15 Coinbase Launches AI Agentic Trading 02:22 SEC-Registered AI Agents and the Hallucination Problem 03:43 Tribes Concerns Over Clarity Act 05:30 Rebuttals to the Tribes' Clarity Concerns 06:23 Katie Boller Gosewisch Joins the Show 07:31 Section 604: The Liability Shield Traffickers Could Exploit 08:59 Are DeFi Developers Money Transmitters? 09:52 What Section 604 Actually Says, and What It Doesn't 10:54 Should We Reinstate a Human Trafficking Coordinator? 11:30 Duty of Care and the 'Turning a Blind Eye' Problem 13:07 The Roman Storm/Tornado Cash Case as the Test 14:37 Future Loopholes and the Reasonable Doubt Risk 15:28 Cryptocurrency, Anonymity, and Rising Online Trafficking 16:02 Blockcha…","meta_description":"CoinDesk's The Policy Protocol hosts Rebecca Rettig and Renato Mariotti open with two hot topics: Coinbase's SEC-registered AI agentic trading launch and…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1232,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/coindesk-podcast-network-334494/episodes/does-the-clarity-act-have-a-human-trafficking-blind-spot/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/coindesk-podcast-network-334494/does-the-clarity-act-have-a-human-trafficking-blind-spot.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
