There are many developers from around the world today who create artificial intelligence agents (AI) who can do useful millions of things, such as airline tickets, disputed credit card costs and even the commercial crypto. A recent report by the Cloud Computing company, Pagerduty, said that more than half of the companies already used autonomous AI agents and that 35% more foresee in the next 24 months.
A few months ago, an almost autonomous AI called Truth Terminal made the headlines by becoming the first millionaire in the AI by promoting the cryptocurrencies that it was offered. Although it is not yet fully autonomous, it is very likely by later this year, some agents of AI not different from viruses will be able to wander independently on the Internet, causing an important change in the real world.
But what happens when these completely autonomous is start to clone indefinitely? A January university study of Fudan in China has shown that this has happened in experience with models of large languages, attracting certain AI reviews to say that a “red line” has been crossed. AI AI replication is a pioneer for AIS to be able to become a thug.
As a transhumanist – someone who pleads for the merger of technology and people – I am everything for AI and what it can do for humanity. But what happens when a human programmer deliberately and definitively removes his access to control an AI bot or loses this control? Even rudimentary ais could potentially wreak havoc, especially if they decide to clone indefinitely.
In financial circles, a particular IA agent type is increasingly discussed: AI AI AUTIOME designed only to earn money.
Entrepreneurs like me fear that this particular AI can have enormous ramifications for the financial world. Let’s examine a wild scenario, which I call the Ai Hegemony MonetarySomething that could already happen in 2025:
An fully autonomous AI agent is scheduled to access the Internet and create cryptocurrency portfolios, then create cryptocurrencies, then constantly create millions of similar versions that want to exchange this crypto.
Suppose now that all these AIs are programmed to try to increase the value of their crypto indefinitely, something that they achieve in a similar way humans by promotion, then exchanging their cryptos for higher values. In addition, the autonomous AIS will open their crypto to exchange with humans, creating a functional market on the blockchain for all.
This plan seems beneficial for all parties, even if people denounce that crypto currencies created by AI are essentially only Ponzi patterns. But these are not Ponzi patterns because there is an endless supply of AIS which always seems to buy and exchange more crypto.
It is not necessary a genius to realize that the AIS reproducing and acting like this could quickly raise much more digital wealth than all humanity.
Does that remind me of something that my professor at the University of Oxford, Nick Bostrom, applied: what happens if we have programmed a learning AI to make trombones of everything? If this AI was powerful enough and we couldn’t stop it, would this AI do trombones with everything with what it came in? Buildings, animals, even people? He could. He could destroy the whole earth.
The same problem could constantly reproduce AIS designed to earn money. They could find ways to create more money than what can reasonably be useful or lasting.
But enough philosophy. If programmers release autonomous AI on the Internet that no one can control, what would it likely happen? First of all, it will probably be extremely inflationary. After all, if several billions and billions of dollars in equity are added to the financial world (even just digitally), it would be a natural result.
Another challenge would be the ups and downs of the negotiating independently; Such an activity could be so important that human markets around the world are increasing and falling with it.
On the positive side, some human entrepreneurs could become very rich, perhaps billionaires if they could somehow exploit the richness of these AI. In addition, AIS Super Rich could be a solution to the increasing debt crisis of the United States and eliminate the need to know if countries like China can continue to buy our debt so that we can print dollars indefinitely. In fact, could the United States launch its own AI agents to create enough cryptographic wealth to buy its debt? Maybe.
This is in fact a very important idea, and helps to serve the reason why the crypto was created in the first place: to help preserve monetary value outside of others control – even control of the dollar by the United States. After all, it is in everyone’s best interest that values stores are not upset by governments, banks, soldiers and even laws – all entities and institutions that can change or be corrupt.
AI can help cause the fall of all national currencies, because crypto is more attractive than Fiat for AI and buyers of human wealth. Crypto, like Bitcoin, is really neutral and depends only on blockchain and the functioning of supply and demand. Nationalist impulses, such as the monopoly of the dollar, could be destroyed because it is overwhelmed by the functionality and security of the crypto, stimulated by billions of billions of billion wealthy AI agents.
But I get ahead of myself. In the short term, as in 2025 and 2026, the risk is significant is that the agents of the AI that we create try to buy our existing financial instruments, such as obligations and actions. With enough money, these robots could ravage recession or inflation. It is surely in the minds of government representatives, who do not currently allow IA robots to still have traditional bank accounts. But that will not stop much autonomous AI entities on the much less regulated cryptographic markets.
Whatever happens, there is clearly an urgent need for the American government to respond to these potential. Since these AI could start to proliferate in the coming months, I suggest that the Congress and the Trump administration immediately summon a working group to specifically fight the possibility of AI monetary hegemony.
The real danger is that even with regulations, programmers will always be able to publish autonomous AI in nature, just as many illegal things are already on the web despite the existence of laws. Programmers can release these types of AIS for kicks, while others try to take advantage of them and some can even do it even as a form of terrorism to try to hinder the global economy, or stimulate the cryptographic revolution to hinder the dollar.
Whatever the reason, the creation of ATIS Autonomous will soon be a reality of life. And vigilance and foresight will be necessary because these new ISs are starting to disrupt our financial future independently.
