AI Agents to Dominate Blockchain Usage, Predicts NEAR Co-Founder

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized numerous aspects of modern life, from writing emails to planning trips and handling mundane tasks. However, its integration with cryptocurrency technology remains limited. Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR Protocol, foresees a significant shift in this dynamic.

Polosukhin envisions AI agents as the primary users of blockchain, utilizing its capabilities for tasks such as payments, voting, and management. In his view, AI will serve as the front-end interface for blockchain, while the latter provides the underlying infrastructure.
