Something interesting is happening as AI agents enter the world of payments. We're giving them the ability to take action, purchase services and move money with very little friction. Technologies like x402 are making these interactions increasingly seamless. But there's another side to this progress that deserves attention. During the conversation with Paul Barron, Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki raised an important point that caught my attention: being able to make a payment doesn't necessarily tell us who is behind it. An agent might successfully complete a transaction, but when it starts handling significant amounts, interacting with businesses or making decisions independently, knowing the source of that activity becomes increasingly important. A wallet address can show that a transaction happened. It doesn't automatically establish who is accountable for the agent's actions. That's why I think identity needs to be part of the conversation around autonomous payments. @Concordium is exploring how verified human and business identities can connect to AI agents while preserving privacy. Because making AI agents capable of transacting is one part of the equation. Making those transactions trustworthy is another. The real question isn't just how much we can automate, but how much trust we can build around that automation. Worth thinking about as the agentic economy develops. 🎙️ Watch the full conversation with Paul Barron: https://t.co/Pu53w2pefj #Concordium #AI #AgenticEconomy
