Today, we will work on creating artificial intelligence (AI) agents that can autonomously useful things such as book tickets, conflict credit card charges, and encryption. There is a developer. One AI called Truth Terminal has recently created news by advertising talented cryptocurrency to become the first billionaire in AI. It is not completely autonomous yet, but in the latter half of this year, some AI agents can wander the Internet independently and have a big change in the real world. , It is still very likely to be autonomous.
What can I do for AI and what can be done for humanity, what happens if a programmer withdraws access intentionally and permanently to control the AI ​​bot? Even elementary AI can potentially cause confusion. However, one type of AI agent is increasingly discussed in financial circles. This is an automatic AI designed to earn only money.

Entrepreneurs like me are worried that this specific AI could have a significant impact on the world of finance. Let’s find out one wild scenario that I call the AI ​​currency hegemony.
The fully autonomous AI agent is programmed to go on the Internet, create cryptocurrency wallets, create cryptocurrency, and exchange millions of similar versions you want to replace them.
Here, let’s assume that all of these AIs are programmed to increase the value of ciphers indefinitely. They achieve them in a similar way by promoting humans and exchanging cipher for higher values. In addition, autonomous AI opens a code and trades with humans to create a market that works with all blockchains.
This plan sounds beneficial to all stakeholders, even if people blame that the AI’s created cryptocurrency is essentially only a ponjuskeim. However, they are not a Ponge skirm that always has the infinite supply of AIS that always buys and exchanges more cipher.
A genius is not needed to recognize that AIS can duplicate and act as endlessly to accumulate digital wealth than all humanity.
This reminds me of Professor Oxford Professor Nick Bostolom. If the AI ​​is strong enough and cannot be stopped, will that AI make all the paper clips you mentioned? Buildings, animals, and even? That may be so. It may destroy the whole earth.
The same problem occurs in duplicating the AI ​​designed to make money infinitely. They may find ways to create more money than rationally useful or inferiors.
But philosophical is enough. What can happen if the programmer releases autonomous AIS on the Internet? First, it will probably be very inflation. After all, this is a natural result if a trillion dollar stock is added to the financial world (even in digital). Another issue is the ups and downs of AIS’s autonomous transactions. Such activities are very important, and human market around the world rises along with them.
In a positive side, some human entrepreneurs can be very wealthy. In addition, super -rich AIS is a solution to the expansion of the US debt crisis, eliminating the need for a country like China to keep purchasing debt, so that it can be printed indefinitely. You can. In fact, can the United States launch a unique AI agent and create enough wealth to buy debt?
Of course, the risk is that these AIs can ultimately buy other financial products such as existing bonds and stocks. However, they will not be able to do so, except that many US economies are encrypted and become a blockchain base. In addition, AI bot has not yet been allowed to have a conventional bank account.
No matter what happens, the US government needs an urgent need to address such possibilities. Considering that these AIS may begin to grow in the next few months, the parliament and the Trump administration will immediately convene special taskforce and particularly work on the possibility of AI financial hegemony. I recommend it.
The real danger is that, despite the regulations, not only can many illegal things have already occurred on the Web, but also release autonomous AI to wild. Programers may release these types of AI for kicks, but others try to make a profit. And some people do so as a form of terrorism that tries to hinder the global economy. Whatever the reason, the creation of autonomous AI will soon become the reality of life. And since these new AI begins to confuse our economic future autonomously, we need to be alert and foresight.
