According to Foresight News, analysts pointed out that the number of AI agents in blockchain networks may exceed human users in the future. Evan, head of Monad Ecosystem, said that there may be 1 billion AI agents on the chain instead of 1 billion human users.
Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner of Dragonfly Capital, pointed out that the popularity of AI cloud computing has lowered the development threshold. Developers only need $10,000 to start on-chain applications, which may trigger an "on-chain renaissance." However, this trend brings up ethical issues of identity authentication and digital trust. Qureshi mentioned that many "AI agents" are more like chatbots with tokens attached, rather than true autonomous agents.
Delphi Labs' research last year mentioned that the combination of AI and cryptocurrency can provide developers and users with better solutions to avoid the monopoly of AI by big tech companies and countries. Projects such as Wayfinder have developed features that support AI agents to interact with blockchain autonomously.
Philosopher and software engineer Yuk Hui believes that AI agents will not completely replace humans, but will push humans beyond the boundaries of self-perception by coexisting with them.
