There is growing interest in giving AI agents access to cryptocurrencies as well as to the smart contracts that transact them. But doing so, this position paper argues, could lead to formidable new vectors of AI harm. To support this argument, we first examine the unique properties of cryptocurrencies and smart contracts that could lead to these new vectors of harm. Next, we describe each of these new vectors of harm in detail. Finally, we conclude with a call for more technical research aimed at preventing and mitigating these harms and, thereby making it safer to endow AI agents with cryptocurrencies and smart contracts.

AT CAIA, my learnings crystallized into combining the theoretical concepts and practical hands-on experience needed to meet the requirement of the industry. A sharp learning curve augmented with high-quality study material and 24*7 support through the Learning Management Portal ensured that we understood what we learned. Today I am with CitiBank and I have been able to impress the interview panel members with my ability to handle a business problem analytically because of my core learnings at CAIA.

The questions most often asked by businesses are: What did we do right or wrong last month? Why did whatever happen, positive or negative, happen and what can we do to ensure the future will be what we want it to be, by mitigating the risk of negative happenings and create more positives? The answers are available now, thanks to technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Advanced Analytics (AA). Armed with the new technologies, businesses are moving from Descriptive to Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics. Machine Learning (ML) and AI are increasingly used to extract new ideas from volumes of data that are generated every minute.
