AI + Crypto is a topic we've spent a good amount of time with here at Bankless. It seems to be what Vitalik has been thinking about lately, too.

His latest article discusses the potential intersections between these two technologies. Today, we're giving you the tl;dr, but as always, the full thing is worth a read!

Vitalik sees this as highly viable — AI agents engaging in blockchain transactions, such as DEX swapping or arbitrage trading. A prime example he cites is AIOmen, an AI-driven prediction market. In these markets, AIs provide a powerful tool that makes lots of small, smart guesses, improving how well these markets work and the quality of information we get from them. For example, even if a question in the market isn't interesting to most people, AIs will still work on it since they aim for overall accuracy in their predictions, not single big wins — improving the overall quality of the market.
