The biggest question for crypto: will AI use it? Say an instance of ChatGPT, or Claude, wants more compute. Does it pay by wire transfer, credit card, or crypto? On the one hand, trad finance doesn't work well for AIs. Like—how do they KYC? They have no passport, address, social security number, or even name. Crypto works much better—it's already digital, it's permissionless, AIs can already query the blockchain, etc. On the other hand, we might see an 'agent' model: each AI is treated as an agent of some specific human, and that human does the KYC, is responsible for what the AI does, etc. (Which brings up a related question: who is legally responsible for what an AI does?) Either way, some work needs to be done to plug the world of AI into the world of trading and payments. Either that work will be natively digital and crypto-based, or it'll be reliant on a human 'master' for the AI. Which direction it goes in has huge implications for the world. One of those is the future of crypto.(SBF)
