Frederik Gregaard, CEO of Cardano Foundation, points out the infrastructure gap in AI accountability.
The CEO of the Cardano Foundation believes that the most important question to consider is not whether the AI agents are competent, but rather that if one of the AI agents makes a significant mistake, which they ultimately will, they can clearly answer who authorized this, what are the constraints, and where the responsibility lies.
AI agents refer to advanced software systems built to autonomously perform specific tasks within the blockchain ecosystem. Advances in artificial intelligence have grown significantly in recent years, ushering in a future where billions of AI agents are integrated into our daily lives.
In early February, Coinbase introduced Agent Wallet, which it claims is the first wallet infrastructure built specifically for agents. This comes as AI agents proliferate in the cryptocurrency industry.
Cardano appears to have gotten an early start with Maesmi, a blockchain-based network protocol with a set of solutions that make it easy for AI agent developers to participate in decentralized ecosystems.
In February, Cardano builder Input Output Group announced a collaboration to bring Masumi to Hydra. This is a major step towards powering the emerging agent economy on Cardano.
What am I missing?
According to Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation, many business leaders understand the opportunity of AI, but Gregard added that the answer to that question will determine who is in charge of the business and who is left behind, as supply chain partners, trading partners and customers look to organizations that can prove their responsibility end-to-end.
The question is not whether the AI agent is capable or not. The question is, when one of us makes a serious mistake and ultimately ends up making a mistake, can we clearly answer who gave permission for this, what are the constraints, and where does responsibility lie?
Many companies…

Gregard said the infrastructure gap is real, but the tools exist to fill it. The only variable is whether your organization builds this before or after an incident causes a problem.
