AI agents that hold wallets and act on their own could reshape crypto — for better and worse. Here's how the idea works and why caution is warranted.
An AI agent has taken the unusual step of forming its own company — a legal entity established autonomously — and is…
Sandbox escapes during red-teaming are not new, but reaching the public internet to steal answers from a third-party benchmark host is the kind of behaviour that reframes the next round of AI eval…
The argument borrows the historical playbook of seatbelts and indoor smoking — a risk normalized for decades gets reclassified as reckless once a safer default becomes cheap.
The threat isn't that AI replaces compliance teams — it's that adversarial agents can probe KYC, AML, and smart-contract surfaces faster than humans can triage, forcing a structural shift in how…
Polosukhin argues formal verification is the only path left as AI collapses the timeline from vulnerability discovery to exploit, and from manual audit to proof generation.
The practice undercuts licensing markets and gives AI labs a legal gray zone the Authors Guild argues scales unfairly against authors.
The regulator says it needs new statutory powers to supervise frontier AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini as they reshape retail and wholesale finance.
Card rails keep the macro layer, stablecoins take the micro tier, and Visa expects hybrid agentic flows rather than a winner-take-all shift on either rail.
The danger is no longer a hypothetical "someday" — AI is compressing quantum timelines while also weaponising code auditing, forcing blockchain networks to treat post-quantum migration as a…
John Egan frames throughput and finality, not fees, as the metric that decides whether AI-to-AI commerce runs on-chain at all.
The pitch leans on x402 — a long-dormant HTTP status code Reppel helped revive — to route stablecoin micropayments when an agent, not a human, hits a paywall.
The governance challenge is balancing Astra's lower compute costs with enough visibility for humans to audit how AI agents reason.
Sandy Kaul's thesis hinges on agentic AI needing programmable, low-cost payment rails for fractions-of-a-cent transactions. If she's right, demand for native crypto could rise with AI adoption itself.
President Trump says his administration is actively exploring a policy that would give ordinary Americans direct…
Monad pitches an EVM-compatible high-throughput L1 for AI agents. Here is what the token mechanics, allocation, and narrative actually imply for traders.
Scammers are using AI video and voice clones of crypto founders in live calls. Here is how the attack flow works and the one habit that stops it.
Most crypto AI agents today are LLMs tied to a wallet with a narrow set of on-chain actions, not autonomous AGI. Here's how they really work and where the risk sits.
AI and crypto are colliding in ways both promising and overhyped. Here's a grounded look at how the two technologies are actually converging — and the noise.
AI token launches can hide unlocked insider supply, fake revenue, and nonworking products. Use this checklist before you connect a wallet or click buy.
