A research report by IC3, a group of researchers from several top universities, said claims that cryptography can solve core AI problems are often exaggerated, including identifying AI-generated content, eliminating algorithmic bias, and enabling fully autonomous AI agents.
According to Odaily, the report said AI systems do not become smarter by having a crypto wallet, nor does a wallet make them more resistant to human manipulation or shutdown.
The report said wallets mainly increase automation by allowing AI agents to conduct on-chain transactions, make payments, and call infrastructure without requiring step-by-step human approval.
Researchers said AI agents will still rely on humans and underlying infrastructure, and that traditional payment systems can also support some automation. The report added that blockchain may have some value in AI payments and trust mechanisms, but it is not a universal solution.
The report also addressed recent industry discussion about on-chain payments by AI agents, noting that MetaMask recently launched a non-custodial wallet for AI agents and that Robinhood plans to allow users to trade cryptocurrencies through AI agents.
