Cardano founder: By 2035, AI agents will outperform humans on the internet, disrupting the advertising-driven business model.

CoinFeed reported on May 7th, citing CoinDesk, that Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated at the Consensus conference that by 2035, AI agents will surpass humans in internet searches, commerce, and activity. He pointed out that AI agents will not click on ads or have brand preferences, which will disrupt the ad-driven business models of platforms like Google, Amazon, and Facebook, causing these tech giants to feel "terrified." Hoskinson believes this is precisely why Google is interested in the x402 protocol, which enables AI agents to conduct programmatic payments via stablecoins and crypto payment tracks. Hoskinson stated that AI agents are the most beneficial thing for cryptocurrencies because they can simplify the user experience.
