Crypto lacks utility for AI trust, payments

Researchers from the Initiative on the Economics of Cryptography (IC3) have published findings suggesting that cryptocurrencies offer limited practical value in addressing the trust and payment challenges inherent in artificial intelligence. The study specifically debunks the notion that granting AI agents access to cryptocurrency wallets would effectively enable autonomous operations. Instead, the academics argue that current blockchain technology and crypto systems are not sufficiently developed or suited to handle the complexities and security requirements of autonomous AI agents, questioning the feasibility of such integrations for enhancing AI's reliability or transactional capabilities.
