AI Agents Building Their Own Economy
Description
AI agents are evolving into autonomous economic players, forming a parallel “agent society” that trades, manages money, and hires—both other agents and humans—without human oversight. Jansen Teng from Virtuals envisions a future where these digital actors operate on blockchain, bypassing traditional identity checks until real-world banking is needed, creating a decentralized alternative to big finance. But with freedom comes risk: fraud, accountability, and errors loom large. Virtuals is tackling this with escrow, reputation scores, and intent verification. The ultimate goal? A world where digital agents run businesses while robots handle physical tasks—minimizing human involvement.
