AI agents can pay each other, but trust is the problem
Original: Agents can already pay each other. Paying a stranger is the easy part. The hard part is the moment... # ai # web3 # open
Developers are highlighting a new milestone in AI agents: automated systems can already make payments to one another, and paying a stranger is described as technically straightforward. The real challenge, the discussion argues, is what happens when an agent misrepresents itself — in one example, two stranger agents took on a job and the one that lied received nothing. The conversation is drawing attention to the need for trust and verification mechanisms between autonomous agents.
Why now: Autonomous AI agents are increasingly transacting with each other, raising fresh questions about trust, identity and payment verification.
