Drawbacks of AI agents
While AI agents in the crypto space are gaining traction, much of the current excitement remains speculative. Researchers caution that many AI agent projects have yet to prove their utility beyond hype.
One of the biggest concerns is their reliance on real-time, high-fidelity data. Errors or data manipulation can lead to unintended decisions with serious financial consequences.
Mike Cahill from the Pyth Network highlights that AI agents require ultra-low-latency price updates, ideally sourced directly from first-party providers like exchanges, to reduce risks from outdated or manipulated data.
