Agentic AI Must Adapt to Blockchain’s Governance Framework
The rise of agentic AI systems capable of autonomous spending, publishing, and decision-making demands a fundamental shift in accountability mechanisms. Blockchain's Immutable ledger and cryptographic verification offer a solution, transforming AI from an opaque 'black box' into a transparent 'glass box.'
Verifiable credentials and smart account policies could anchor AI identity management, while cryptographically signed inputs and outputs create audit trails. This infrastructure WOULD enable regulators to trace AI actions—from fund movements to content publication—with cryptographic certainty.
The transition challenges the original human-AI dynamic where outputs were merely suggestions. As autonomous systems gain execution capabilities, the ethical implications multiply. Blockchain's provenance tools may become the essential framework for governing AI agents operating in financial ecosystems.
