The team at AllianceDAO published their thesis on the convergence of AI and crypto. In contrast to Web2 which tends to be averse to bots, they say, Web3 allows AI to flourish thanks to its permissionlessly programmable nature. More broadly, if you view blockchain as a network, then AI will dominate the edges of the network. So far, the edges of Web 3 networks have, for the most part, been humans. Humans initiate and sign transactions or implement bots with fixed strategies to act on their behalf. Over time, we will see more and more AI agents at the edges of the network. AI agents will interact with humans and with each other via smart contracts. These interactions will enable novel consumer experiences.
