"It also includes built-in safeguards that allow the farmer to swap one dead cow for a live one."

Is that backwards? If you own the token for a cow, and it dies, what happens?

There’s a credit agreement that will spell out those details:

> To turn cattle into trusted financial guarantees or collateral without requiring inspectors to visit the property, Cowmed equips cows with an AI-powered Smarty Collar. These collars constantly monitor health, behavior, and location. The raw data is then converted into an encrypted digital identity tied directly to the B3 credit agreement. [Emphasis mine]

I wonder what opportunities exist for a malicious actor to intercept the data flow and substitute it with their own, either for the purposes of devaluing someone else's cow or to increase the value of their own--or even to generate fake cow biometrics, feed them directly to devices, and pretend you have a real, live herd.

They've had these for cows in America for years, and even for people in the hospital. Long before "A.I."

What makes these "smart," as compared to something like a bio button?
