Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee mentioned in an interview that AI is approaching the "wealth uncanny valley," where AI agents' income may exceed human earnings. He warned this could blur the line between humans working for AI and AI working for humans. Lee added that AI could manage bank accounts, replace jobs, and build financial systems, raising concerns. As regulatory frameworks like MiCA and CFT evolve, the crypto sector must adapt to these rapid changes.

Huo Xing Cai Jing reports that Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine, said in an interview that AI is approaching the so-called “uncanny valley of wealth,” and at some point in the future, income generated by individuals’ AI agents may exceed their own labor earnings. Tom Lee believes that when this moment arrives, people may begin to question: “Am I working for AI, or is AI working for me?” He also predicts that AI agents may eventually take over bank accounts, replace certain jobs, and even build independent financial systems, acknowledging that this trend “could instill fear about the future.”
